I was so bummed out yesterday by the abundance of clouds that I got drunk :roll:
A bit sad I missed it, but at least I did see a beautiful lunar-eclipse last year
...hopefully next year....

as if there weren't many astronmists that are interested in this phenomena? i bet there must be pics around somewhere in the internet.

Sorry to break the news to you, but the next lunar eclipse is not till 2010....one website said 2015, so I'm not sure which one it is.
