Tonight's partially eclipsed moon!
It was a complete surprise to see this happening tonight. I thought the partial eclipse wouldn't last very long, and I was wrong.

I appreciate the facts surrounding this moon. I was probably dimly aware of them, but having them written down is a huge help!
And it's a good thing I got this shot now. In 20 years, I will most likely have shuffled off this mortal coil.
Science and philosophy meet in moments like these. It is for us to take a deep breath and appreciate the intersection of the four dimensions we are able to perceive.
Thank you for the photo. The sky is overcast here, but the darkening of the upper portion of the moon is nonetheless apparent through the clouds.
Best wishes for capturing more noteworthy lunar spectacles.
There's a total solar eclipse happening in Egypt in 2027 and I plan to be there. Totality will last SIX MINUTES.
That's something I want to see and photograph!
And thanks, it's raining really hard here so we'll be missing the northern lights too. But it will help with the fires, we've got some big ones around the region and it's good sleeping weather.
Have a good night, dear Peggy!
I'm glad you're getting the rain you really need! The fires must be put out, pronto! I hope you'll sleep well.
I'm having a great night, thanks so much!
I felt very lucky with this shot! Of course, it doesn't hurt that I was prepared to capture it. 
You really captured the essence of the eclipse beautifully.
Ty for sharing with us!
Some photos are easy to capture, and this one was like that! I liked what the camera showed me and away we went!
Ty! 
I felt very lucky when I spotted it. The photo brings out the details that are harder to see when you look at it in person.
Whenever and wherever the moon presents herself to us, it's miraculous!
Thank you, my dear Hekate, for showing me just what you saw last night. Now it's part of my memory too.
I was so excited at what I saw that I rushed back into the house and uploaded my photos and got busy posting!
I hoped that all of you would enjoy seeing this moon, and so it turned out to be a great evening. It makes me very happy to share the beauty in my own life with all of you.
We had rain and cloudy skies last night, but it's pleasant to know that you had the right conditions to take this wonderful photo.
Thanks!
I felt the same: what an awesome shadow! I had not expected anything so striking and dark. I was thrilled to be able to capture it. And I felt very lucky too!
You're welcome!
