Eclipse

Tonight was a lunar eclipse, one that was easily viewed in the South Eastern United States. For a great look at the timeline and other info on this eclipse, check out this article.

For a great interview about the eclipse, check out this video.


I have included a couple of pictures that I took, but they quality is not great – they are from my digital camera, handheld using the car for bracing. They do show a couple of stages of the eclipse. For us here in the SE, there will not be another eclipse that is this visible until at least 2010. Since tonight was very clear, it was a great night to be watching.


For an interesting article on the eclipse that saved Christopher Columbus, read this article.

For us, this eclipse was an omen of impending news – today was the announcement of the ELCA regional assignments for first call. We have been assigned to region 9, but will be another 24 hours before we know much more. Check back soon!
