Good Bye Moon

Tonight was the last lunar eclipse we will be able to see until 2010 and it was a clear night!!! In February, that is a miracle. We had a beautiful view of it right from our driveway. So we got out the telescope and had fun checking it out. We got to see craters on the moon and, thanks to the eclipse, got to see Saturn and it's rings! It was pretty cool because it was just a tiny version of all the pictures you see in books.

Here is a picture that Andy took of the eclipse. It was really dark but it is kind of a neat picture with the moon all red. (it's the brownish-red dot in the middle of the picture)

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him? Psalm 8: 3-4
