Lunar Eclipse

There was a full lunar eclipse this morning, I'm not sure where it was visable but here in massachusetts it was. I did take a couple of pictures, but I have not downloaded them from my camera yet. A local news web site posted this:

The statue is the forefathers monument in Plymouth, MA @ about 5:30 AM it covered the moon completely @ 5:56 AM.

Yes...it was very cool. My son & I set our alarms for 3am to have a look. Here it was visible from 3am to 5am. Was definately worth getting up to have a look.
