I hope you all got a chance to check out the lunar eclipse. Things like this happen relatively often, but not always with a great North American view. For example, the upcoming total solar eclipse on August 1st will only be seen on the more northeastern part of our continent. Us here in western North Carolina may just barely see it happening on the horizon during sunrise.
I don't plan on being up that early.
Either way, being able to actively watch the shadow of our massive planet moving across another large celestial body puts a realistic sense of scale to the universe.
If you missed it, look for upcoming occurrences on the NASA eclipse schedule. They are calculated out for thousands of years.
