with cold, windy weather and rain that might be turning into snow tomorrow, we in the Eastern U.S. and Canada have another chance to catch an interesting phenomenon in the night sky. Between 5:44 and 6:58 PM EST on the evening of March 3, the moon will experience a total eclipse. Click here for all the info.
The last time we were able to witness a total lunar eclipse was October 27, 2004, a bad night for Scottius Maximus and Lutheran Lucy, but a fun night here at the home of the Evil Genius! We were all set, with a ringside seat in the back of a pickup truck, and a little telescope. Plus, since that was our first year of homeschooling, I didn't care if our girls stayed up late to view it, since they didn't have to catch a bus early the next morning. Here's some of the pics we got.
As you can see, it was windy that night too, though not as cold.

AAAAAAAACCCKKK! You must never speak of that date again, unless only in reference to October 27, 2006.
Marie, you're welcome!
Scottius, I said it was a tough day for ya, didn't I? But at least you won the World Series last year! Do I need to remind you what it is like to be an *Indians* fan? (sniffle)
