 If you missed the lunar eclipse last night, you missed something truly breathtaking.  It was really bright and white on my way home from work (I stayed late), and then I went out at about 10:20, and it was red with the right edge still being a little bright.  I wish my picture had turned out better, but this is all I got because I took it with my phone.  I’m hoping to get a telescope and a descent digital camera with my IRS rebate in May.

Anne V. has a really lovely piece about her experience of watching the lunar eclipse at her blog Holy Experience.

Wikipedia has some great information about them here, along with a really cool time-lapsed movie of the March 2007 eclipse.

I myself have trouble imagining how anybody could look at all the beautiful, incredible things in the universe, such as this lunar eclipse, and not believe in God.  I know that the eclipse has a very scientific explanation to it, but it is still amazing.  To think about how for so many thousands of years they thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it, and then they finally figured out that we actually revolve around the Sun and that the universe was much, much bigger.  How can we think that we know everything there is to know, and that we don’t have something wrong in our scientific thinking?  There is no end to God and to His magnificent glory, and we can only hope to see and understand a fraction of His creation and even less of Him.
