Conjunction

Exciting times tonight as North America witnessed the only total lunar eclipse this year, and the first to occur on the winter solstice since 1636.  This has "no cosmic significance", according to one article I read, but try telling that to the hippies around here.

Unfortunately, but not unsurprisingly, I didn't get any great pictures of the event.  By the time I realised this the clouds were blocking out the moon far more effectively than the earth's orbit.  Not to worry - only another 372 years until the next one.

It begins.

Hmmm, not too bad.  And now I'm off to bed.
