Lunar eclipse

Only minutes ago, in the backyard, we sat and watched the Earth' shadow crawl slowly across the surface of the moon.  The color of the moon shifting from an light cream color, to a deep yellow, and then to a translucent red oxide.  The display was beautiful.  Afterwards the telescope was aimed at Saturn.  Seeing the rings of Saturn was an awesome experience.  The sphere surrounded by rings, the negative space between the two objects...beautiful. I hope you all got a chance to view the eclipse unfolding.  We have an hour before we see the Moon begin to crawl out of the Earths shadow, once again brightly lighting the night.
