I did sit out in the backyard for about 15 minutes around 1:30 AM this morning to look at the #eclipse.
I had made up a thermos of sweet red tea in honor of the red moon (hibiscus, honey, pomegranate and other delicious things) before I went to bed, so that was warm and waiting for me next to my glasses case on the kitchen table.
I feel very mooned-up now, between the bike trip to the field to watch it rise and then getting up to see it eclipsed. Ahhhhh.
Every time I look at our only considerably-sized orbiting body, I wonder if it feels lonely? I've been reading space fiction again this week. Our space in general feels really lonely to me.

The Creature hopes everyone who could saw the #LunarEclipse tonight~~
Canon EOS M200, 300mm Canon telephoto lens. One long exposure for cloud motion blurring, one medium exposure for the redness of the eclipse, and one short exposure for the details of the bright crescent.

A few minutes before totality and best I could do without a tripod. It's still happening if you want to get out there.
Here's a quick and dirty edit of one of the frames I got (the camera is still running lol)
Update: it was so quick and dirty that I didn't realize it was upside down (it's correct now lol)

Totality--Blood Moon--begins at 11:26pm PDT (07:26 UTC). 3/n
Who all is up late to see the #eclipse? I decided that, given our lunar calendar, that staying up late to see a lunar eclipse is a very Jewish thing to do.
But that raises the question --- what is the #Bracha (blessing) for seeing an eclipse?
And at what point in the eclipse should one recite the blessing?
And as always I must ask --- is there a non-theistic version of said bracha?
I gotta get to bed! happy with the photos, and grateful for the weather, yay! #eclipse #lunareclipse #PortAlberni
Here's another one. Totality--Blood Moon--begins at 11:26pm PDT (07:26 UTC). 2/n
Moon status: Hey, someone took half the moon. What the heck
