This is similar shot from the archives during the lunar eclipse of February 2008.

I AM ASHAMED 🙁 I didn’t go to sleep until 3:30am and I had no idea about the lunar eclipse. I missed the chance to take some photos, as well, but you did a great job capturing it!!! Thanks for staying up and for sharing your photos.

WOW!!! We were awake too, our 1 and a half year old twins were up about 2:30, but we didn’t get a chance to go outside and see it. Thanks for the pics.
