As everyone in the universe probably knows, last night was a super blood moon! (aka a Super Moon occurring at the same time as a complete lunar eclipse!) I do not have a telescope, so sadly no good pictures from me. At first I did not even think I would be able to see the eclipse. I went outside about an hour before it began and the sky was completely cloudy. However, about half way through the eclipse my mother messaged me from Texas where she is visiting my sister to tell me that the clouds were gone and I could see it.

It is a tad sad that I had to be told from over a thousand miles away what the weather was in my location, but I went outside and I had a perfect few of the eclipse, which was almost at full coverage.

It really was stunning. I could have stayed out there for the entire thing....

Except I live in the middle of no where. While standing out on my driveway in the dark by myself I heard all that nature's night life had to offer. Owls, bugs, unidentified rustling bushes, and in the distance.....the howls of coyotes. Add that to my over active imagination that was telling me horror stories of murderers hiding in the wood..... I did not stay out there long.

Still, it was nice before I got scared and went back inside. There is nothing really like being out under the stars. Plus this is the second full eclipse I have witnessed this year. Earlier this year I experienced a full solar eclipse in England which was a real treat. So I guess this year has been pretty spectacular on the astrological front! Hope you all where able to have a night with the moon as well! Bye for now!
