I don't know how many of you watched the total lunar eclipse yesterday. It   
   was the perfect time for us here, as the moon was already fully covered   
   right after sunset on our eastern horizon.   
      
   Earlier in the afternoon, we had some prolonged, very heavy showers, and I   
   thought that the clouds would ruin it for us. However, by sunset, there were   
   just clouds on the eastern horizon.   
      
   I kept going outside on my back  balcony, and kept wondering why I couldn't   
   see the Moon anywhere. Finally, I went out to our front balcony, and lo and   
   behold, the Moon was already high up in the sky at about 45 degrees. The   
   reason why I couldn't see if from the back balcony is because, due to our   
   latitude, it was more northeast, than east, on the horizon. I took a few   
   peeks, and then went back to work on my computer.   
      
   What I find extremely interesting is the fact that, according to information   
   on the science.nasa.gov website, this is was the first total lunar eclipse   
   to occur on the day of the Northern Winter Solstice -- December 21st --   
   since 1638, and only the second one to occur during the past 2,010 years.   
   That makes such events extremely rare. There must be some spiritual   
   significance to that fact, but I don't know what it is yet. I am reminded of   
   this verse:   
      
   "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and   
   upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves   
   roaring;"   
   Luke 21:25, KJV   
      
   Anyway, below is an interesting link where you can see some really nice   
   images and animations of yesterday's total lunar eclipse.
