On Saturday morning, we woke Adam and Tessa up bright and early in the morning so see the Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon. We woke up early enough to see the moon turn completely red. It was quite a sight! Adam and Tess both recently finished up units on Astronomy at school and they are both fascinated by our Universe. The evening before they had been quizzing each other on Astronomy facts. Tessa thought it was cool to see, but promptly went back to bed. Adam wanted to watch it as long as he could. We finally sent him back to bed after watching the moon for about 45 minutes. He then spent the rest of the morning reading about Astronomy and the Eclipse. (He was supposed to go back to sleep.)
It was cool to see it though! Kind of makes me think of signs of the Second Coming....when the moon will turn to blood.
