for 1.30 clock last night we had set the alarm clock in order to observe the total lunar eclipse . When the alarm rang, Julian and I were no longer so sure that we get up really attract us and wanted to go out into the cool night (about 6 degrees C). After some muttering and grumbling, we struggled through but still have our winter jackets attracted (Julian has even dusted gloves) and barricaded ourselves armed with trail mix and a book in our car in the parking lot outside the house. I've never seen a lunar eclipse and Julian, of course, certainly not. So often one has the opportunity not so. The next total lunar eclipse, according to NASA on 21.2.2008 (and there's probably greater risk ß it that the moon is hiding behind a cloud cover) and then again until 2010! It was very exciting to watch how the moon was darkened and increasingly appeared an hour later completely orange. When we after 3 clock back in bed and have seen occasionally blinking now from where the darkened moon, because he had been moved far enough west, we thought about how it was probably used for the man, a moon- or to witness solar eclipse, to be quite surprising and inexplicable to them had. Thank you, Nicola, that You have made us aware of this natural spectacle! As I read in your blog have her have also witnessed the lunar eclipse.
