Moonlight Sonata - Earth perfectly lodged between Sun & Moon

Jon Halsey writes:
Great night (Morning) for insomniacs, moonbats, dingbats and just plain curious ole folk.

At 4:15 slo-time, with the temperature hovering around 58, no wind and a crystal clear sky, the Earth's shadow started it's slow slide across the face of the moon. By 5:30am the Earth seemed to be perfectly lodged directly betwixt the Sun and the Moon and the cosmic dust created a strange hue on the dimly lit lunar landscape.

As I write this at 5:42, the moon is still covered and like a music lover who can't play or sing a single note but whose heart and soul still soars with the sounds of a beautiful score, I don't have the photographers skills but would dearly love to see a photographic memory of the beautiful event. y Knifley (I think. With the moon covered, it\'s really too dark to tell) --jon halsey
