I hope everyone got a chance to watch the eclipse tonight. I was so excited we had clear enuf skies to see it! They had threatened cloudy skies. We went out early when the moon monster was just starting to eat the moon and were able to also clearly see the comet. That was great. Then later, when the moon monster had almost completely eaten it, we could see the reddish tint to the moon people have mentioned before. The moon was almost glowing red-hot-- certainly as red as Mars! What a great sight! Certainly hope we have equally clear skies for the new moon when the Denver Astronomical Society is bringing their telescopes to our school for us to look at the comet and Mars. We will be having a local TV production company coming to our school that night to film a class that uses technology in the classroom, so hope it's a good filming night! Clear skies, jkc Janet K.
