Lunar Eclipse

We decided to observe the lunar eclipse so we got out the zero gravity lounge chairs and set everything up in the backyard for a middle of the night observation. Lucky wasn't sure what to make of all three of us out in the backyard with him in the middle of the night. He was really excited! Rusty the dog next door was concerned and barked a little and we found out later that the neighbors were worried about Lucky because he wasn't barking with Rusty so they came out and peeked throught the fence to see what was going on. They thought it was kind of weird, all they saw was Christa sitting in the grass. Later the next morning they discovered it was the eclipse and they said they felt silly for wondering what was wrong with Christa. Lucky is a 60lb Border collie, but he was raised with our yorkies and he thinks he's a lap dog. He spent part of the time in Daryl's lap (see the picture) and part of the time with his head in Christa's lap. Greerson woke up for the initial phase of the eclipse, but took a nap in between then returned for the final phase. It was a perfect night. It was cloudy, but there was a perfect circle around the moon for us to view the stars and the moon.

It's amazing that the camera caught both of our eyes closed.
