<div>Yes, I saw part of the lunar eclipse this week. It was a good night for viewing, clear with the moon high in the sky. I've seen many lunar eclipses but they are still fun to watch. The "bloody red" color is light from the Earth reflecting off the moon. Can you imagine how this impacted the minds of a less scientific age who had no idea why the moon turned dark and red?
