We somehow managed to get up during the night to see if we could get outside to see the lunar eclipse. When we walked out the door, we were dismayed to see how bright the lights were on the house across the street. They were almost blinding! We had never noticed them before, and we knew we had to get away from that bright glare to see the moon at its best. So we walked along the street to the back of our house, which blocked those terrible bright lights. The sky was absolutely clear - no clouds anywhere and the moon was right overhead. When we saw it, it looked very red and we could see just a sliver on the right side where the moon was starting to appear again. And the stars were just magnificent! We could see them very well, and the milky way, too
So, we're glad we made the effort to get up and get outside. It was well worth it to see the moon look so red.
