For the folks out there who weren’t so lucky as to be treated to Monday’s lunar eclipse, please allow me to paint a picture.
It is early morning. You have had a pleasant night of peaceful slumbering – one of those nights in which you are so comfortable you feel as if you are sleeping in the loving embrace of a voluptuous collection of stardust from some far away galaxy. But then you hear the stardust whisper, “Wake up Morgan. I have something to show you.” And so you wake up.
Why yes, you had nearly forgotten; this is the morning of the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse!
The slight shadow cast over the moon by our Earth is enough to make you howl as if you were a sexually mature wolf in pursuit of intimate adventure! Some folks out there might not make much of this subtle eclipse, and others may not have noticed it at all, but not you – you prefer when she leaves a little something to the imagination.
