December 10, 2011 Total Lunar Eclipse

As I mentioned in my last blog entry, there was a total eclipse of the moon early this morning (local time), and I had... well, I'd consider it a rather good vantage point.  Above 40% of the atmosphere, above 95% of the water vapor in the atmosphere, and so on.

I promised various people that I would put something together, image-wise... so I have.  Click to see a larger view of it... and then consider that the larger view is only 1/4 as wide and high as the actual original image.  Maybe I'll make a giant print of it or something.

Update a day later: I made a couple versions with the stages of the eclipse arranged in a more curved manner.
