Early Tuesday morning, March 3, there was a total lunar eclipse.
It began about 4 am EST, with totality starting about 6 am to finish 7 am-ish.
I was outside at about 5 am, then went back inside to warm up at 5:30 am.
By 6 am, the clouds had rolled in, and I saw NUTHIN'.
However, the journey was worth it, and I managed to snap a few images.
A nibble of the moon missing, about 5:08 am.
A big sliver still, but the Earth's shadow covered much of the moon, about 5:30 am, and it was hazy.
An arty shot of the clouds that wandered in just when it was gettin' good!
I stood in the backyard, facing west.
Am thankful to be able to indulge my desire to witness sky and celestial events; solar eclipse in April 2024, Northern Lights now a few times, meteor showers, lunar eclipse, comets, the ISS, and I take photos of cloud patterns too.
Years ago, The Hubby insisted that he accompany me when I wanted to excursion out to watch the night sky, but now he makes sure there is enough fuel in The Cat Car, so I can go and do as I like.
You see, he was bitten by mosquitoes, and although there isn't a bug in sight right now, he's had enough, and why tempt fate?
There is something to be said about the quiet of watching the sky while solo.
And not worrying about getting enough sleep for work the next day; yay for retirement.
Let's Hop!
