Here's one for the books:
Last night many people across the United States got to witness a full lunar eclipse, or "blood moon;" one of astronomy's rare treats, especially with such conveniently clear skies as that of College Station's.
With a lot of forward planning, and a solid nap Monday afternoon, I was able to stay up all night to photograph the five hour long event. You can see the moon throughout each phase as it passes in and out of the eclipse. All in all, a pretty spectacular sight to see, and I am very thankful that it turned out as I planned.
For those of you who may have missed out on this month's lunar eclipse, don't worry, there will be another one this coming October of 2014, so don't forget to mark your calendars!
