Lunar eclipse...d by clouds

I can't believe that I didn't know about the lunar eclipse tonight! My nerd-by-association hubby actually told me when I got home.

It was visible for a few minutes before the clouds came in. When it popped out again, I was ready with my camera, with no card. When I came back out 1 minute later, it was gone again, and hasn't returned since.

Thus all we could do was participate in the scene simultaneously playing out in various languages all over the western hemisphere: reminding ourselves of the nuts-and-bolts of an eclipse by acting it out, with a motorcycle helmet (as Earth), and two fists, as, of course, sun and moon. "Non, non, regardes... la lune, c'est ici, et la terre, c'est la-bas!"

So here's my picture of what ... ok, scratch that thought. My pictures of the clouds weren't that good.

I'm sure that SpaceWeather has some good photos.

I promise not to take clear skies for granted anymore!
