Last night's lunar eclipse was a dud.
At least that's as far as Jamestown, New Mexico was concerned. Before the eclipse, cloud cover moved into the area, obscuring any views of it. Oh, well.
I've seen many others before, so it wasn't too much of a loss for me.
According to Newsweek:
A total lunar eclipse appeared in the night sky, with people across the globe enjoying a spectacular phenomenon—and photographers took the opportunity to capture the dazzling celestial event.
A total lunar eclipse happens when the sun, Earth and moon form a near-perfect line-up in space. During these moments, which only occur during a full moon, the Earth casts a shadow on our natural satellite, changing its color and brightness.
