[dropcap]L[/dropcap]ast night, I grabbed my camera and took a few shots of the super "blood moon" lunar eclipse. It was truly amazing to see the supermoon coinciding with the lunar eclipse. Although I didn't see much of the reddish tint that comes along with the blood moon, I did get to watch the eclipse in full. It looked more dark grey colored than rusty red from my point of view. Although it was a bit chilly outside, it was worth it to watch this fascinating process take place in the clear night sky. This was my first opportunity to watch this lunar combination. The last time it occurred was in 1982, and I wasn't even born! Any time an event like this occurs, I love how it gets everyone outside and helps us all slow down a little and enjoy the sights. There is nothing like a night full of stargazing with family and friends.
