Lunar Eclipse

I was on my way home from work last evening (walking west on 51st toward Broadway) and I noticed that everyone was looking at the eastern sky. Glancing over my shoulder I realized that I had inadvertantly left work at the appropriate time (10pm) to see the lunar eclipse - the moon truly did look red.
I don't recall the weather ever cooperating before so I believe this is my first-ever sighting of an eclipse.

I'm totally bummed I missed it! I was so looking forward to seeing the eclipse, but alas -- CLOUDS!

Sad you missed it! It was actually your post that made me realize the eclipse was last night, so thanks!
