Observation 12-21-10 Part 2

12-21-10
2:43 AM

This morning was the Lunar Eclipse. I went and stood in my drive way and looked up. The moon was just about overhead around 85 degrees or so. The moon was orange almost red toward one side, but still very white on the other. I think that this is because Earth's shadow hadn't covered the entire surface of the moon. It was really cool and I had never seen anything like it before. The sky was so clear that you could easily see thousands of stars, plus there was barely any light pollution.
