Lunar Eclipse

Tonight at 1:45 ish, there was a Lunar Eclipse. Ever heard of it? I'm pretty sure the news had a field day with it. Even so, I forgot about it til a friend reminded me of it at 1:00. Apparently, this is the first time a Lunar Eclipse has occurred on the same day as the Winter Solstice since 1638 or some random year.

My sister and I googled Lunar Eclipse. This is what we found. We just liked saying "umbra."

Well, my sister and I went outside to watch it. And since my niece is spending the night, she came too! We stood outside like "Mo-rons" (as Lexi would say) and sang Christmas carols waiting for the moment. We even sung "Total Eclipse of the Heart." At one point my niece yelled out, "Shut it already!" I thought she meant my mouth...she claims she meant the moon.

Finally, it was 1:45 and the moon was covered something umbra. We decided it was anti-climactic. My friend said that at least we witnessed a rare event, never to occur in our lifetime again. I say, the other week I made Ruben clean up his stuff in the bathroom. WAY more rare, and TONS more exciting. Take that moon!
