Lunar Eclipse

I first saw it on our way to Institute. The moon was about half under shadow when we left, and it looked incredible. When we came out, it was a total eclipse, and we couldn't see only a pale gray spot against the dark blue sky. By the time we got back again, the moon was starting to come out of the shadow, so we could see a very bright sliver against the rest of the moon which started to take on an orange tint. We were lucky that it was clear last night. By the time I fell asleep, the moon was back and it was so bright. It's great that this was on a near-full moon.
