Blood moon
Mar. 14th, 2025 11:27 amI've seen a few really gorgeous pictures from our general area of the red moon in last night's sky with the aurora borealis. Not right here, alas. The lunar eclipse maximum happened at about 11pm in our time zone, but there were too many clouds in that part of the sky to see it.
But I did go outside a few times, and it was such an interesting quality of light - dark, but not really normal dark, I'd actually describe it as "murky." Especially in the cloudy south, the moon's general area, where there was a dim, blotted-out quality to the sky.
When the moon came back, you could see the glow emerge through the clouds. We did get to see it pretty clearly towards the end of the eclipse, with a bite taken out of the side.
