I get an Earth/Sky News email regularly about what to look for in the night sky.  Yesterday’s email announced a Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse so we were out there to see it.   It was not as dramatic as I had hoped.  All I could tell was that one side was a bit darker than the other, with no clear earth shadow.  It was a beautiful, clear and warm night so it was nice to be outside anyway.

I’m glad I didn’t stay up until 0300.  The comet was only visible with binoculars or telescope.  I would not even have know where to look.
