It was a giant suck-all-day that changed colors as it dissolved.

My Redskins suck all day.

For those cloud impaired tonight, the moon is over half eclipsed, with the eclipsed area showing a dark red color.

For those cloud impaired tonight, the moon is over half eclipsed, with the eclipsed area showing a dark red color.

Approaching mid-eclipse, to me the Moon appears a pale orange through binoculars. The color appears more subdued in a small telescope at 50x. The difference between what you perceive and what I perceive may be due to differences in the color sensitivity of our eyes and differences in the atmospheres from where we observe.
