So apparently, last night many around the world were able to witness a rare total lunar eclipse!!! Many were watching as the Earth passed directly between the sun and the full moon. While it did this, it covered the moon in shadow making the whole thing completely red! The event was really special because it also happened on the same day as the Winter Solstice - something that hasn't occurred in 372 years, and won't come around again until 2094. Man, I can't believe I missed it!!! The stupid thing came out at 2 A:M when I was sleeping! My friends Facebook status was: " saw the Lunar Eclipse and two shooting stars!!" That made me so jealous! Hopefully I'm still alive in 2094!
