Lunar Eclipse


Did you all see the lunar eclipse tonight? It was so fantastic! It has been total for nearly an hour now, and the moon looks like a planet and it is so beautiful. The creations of God are so spectacular we can barely imagine it all. We have been studying stars and planets in Science and I had the students create their own solar system, but nothing is as beautiful as the real things. Oh, my, I am overwhelmed.

I totally agree! That was so amazing! Did you take pics? I tried, I was too cold to get my tripod working and in a hurry to leave for song practice..etc..
Very cool tho. My favorite part was actually the hour before the eclipse- the moon looked like it was so close we could touch it and it was so yellow..very beautiful..

Yes, I will put the best one up, you can see, actually see that the moon is round! I love it - glad you got to see it too, makes me feel like you aren't so far away. Love you

wow...you're picture is so much more beautiful than mine but I'll post it anyway. Your comment about us being closer than it feels sometimes was very profound..it kind of reminded me of that song on that Feivel movie "somewhere out there.."'I love you too :) You mean more to us than we could ever express with words but at least we can try.
