Lunar eclipse

Just caught it - we came out of the cinema at about 11.45 pm and it was a full eclipse then. Got home and treated our dog to a late night walk and we were able to see it work its way across and virtually clear the moon by the time we finished one hour later.

Pure luck we saw it as had not caught previous info about it.

At full eclipse it looked ghostly and almost as if a ball was hanging in the sky quite close by. Made me think how in primitive times it would be a sign of the gods being angry with a human sacrifice the only way to appease them. Aaah, those were the days!
