Lunar Eclipse
Did everyone get a chance to see the lunar eclipse last night?It kind of just looks like a half moon, doesn’t it?I wasn’t sure exactly what causes a lunar eclipse. I was pretty sure it had something to do with a large, round object passing between the Earth and the moon. I got out my super high-powered telescope and took a look. Amazingly, I saw this:I got to watch Danny Devito sunbathing nude in space. I’m a huge fan of his, but sadly, he was too far away to ask for an autograph.

you do know that it's not something passing between the earth and the moon… it's the earth passing between the sun and the moon. the moon is only seen because of the sun's reflection off of it. doy.

And adding on to "smarterthanyou" the moon actually turned a nice blood red too.

I missed the red. It was a touch underwhelming. Now a SOLAR eclipse! Thats something. Don't look right at it, though- it'll fuck up your eyes, like it did mine, back in '84. No wonder I missed the red… …goddamnit…
