Eclipsey

As most of you were probably aware, there was an eclipse on Monday Night/Tuesday morning!
No, not this kind…

But THIS kind!

Look at that high-quality Canon XL725tripod55zz2000 photo. JK it was my iphone. And the moon was orange! “Blood orange” they say. (another Twilight reference? No. I won’t.)
OK so you can’t tell in my picture but still. I hope you all were awake and went outside to witness this awesome science dealio!
Conveniently, we discussed color in class on Monday, and so the concept of how sunsets work was fresh on my mind. I think I understand it. Maybe like 87% understanding. Anyways. I read that the coloring was basically from the sunsets on earth being reflected onto the moon. Gosh I hope that’s right or I sound like a fool.  #science
It just was cool to actually try and grasp the concept of why the moon was colored that way, instead of just staring at it in awe. I’m starting to see light as magic, guys!!!!
