Dec.20/21, 2010 - total lunar eclipse!

This is what I saw at 1:00am on Tuesday, Dec.21, 2010 - a glorious, reddish full Moon due to its total eclipse. It was far up in the sky so I used binoculars for a "closer look" but it was most amazing, regardless of the distance.  I love looking at the night sky to begin with but this was just one of those things I had to stay up late to see... 
If you missed it, you won't see another one of those until 2014.
