Last night we had a total eclipse of the moon. It was also date night and to be honest I was more interested in spending the evening with Lloyd than watching the eclipse as I have seen plenty of lunar eclipses in the past. The children watched the eclipse at home and Lloyd and I caught glimpses of the first half before and after dinner. We watched some on the way home from dinner and I took a few snapshots when I got home, but I wasn't really interested. Maybe I should have been because it seems the rest of Canada was fascinated.
Abigail was thrilled with the binoculars that Grandma and Grandad Spicer sent her last week for her birthday - they actually worked better for the eclipse than our real binoculars!!!
Anyway, in some of the pictures you can see two dots sandwiching the moon - the one to the left of the moon is Saturn and it's rings were visible with a telescope....and the other is Regulus.
Don't forget you can click on the images to see them much bigger!
