There was a lunar eclipse tonight. Around 6:30 you could start to see the moon move into the earth’s shadow. Then you could see it move more and more into the shadow, until it reached totality a little after 8:00. At that point the moon was all reddish. There seemed to always be this tiny little bit of brightness at the bottom of the moon, even during the totality, but it was still really cool. Right now there is only a little bit of shadow left on the moon. I took a bunch of pictures of the moon during the various stages of the eclipse. I actually had a few more, but they didn’t all turn out very well, so I will only show you the good ones.

Here is the very beginning of the eclipse, where most of the moon is still visible:
