Lunar Eclipse

We all saw the lunar eclipse this evening. By the time of moonrise in our area, the total eclipse was already past. We had dinner later than expected, but we were able to see the last fourth or so of the shadow. We walked north on our block to find a semi-clear spot between the houses and trees across the street to the east. It was quite cold, so I taught DS1 how to do jumping jacks to stay warm. Then we went inside for a while. About 5 minutes later, DS1 and I went back outside to see how much smaller the shadow was. We walked south this time and found a very good view. The moon being higher helped, but it was primarily lack of trees between 2 houses most of the way down the block that enabled us to have an unobstructed view. The shadow was almost gone when we decided it was time to come inside.
