This photo of the moon's eclipse early Tuesday
is from Japan, but it was pretty amazing here, too.
I first saw the totality with a reddish orange orb
and coppery interior. But the changes over the
hours were spectacular, especially as the left rim
turned yellow, then the silvery white began at the
upper left edge like a light shining on the moon.
Then the quick movement of the earth's shadow,
darkness to light with a faint red rim underneath.
The moon was full and whole again, just in time
to yield to the sun. Magnificent. (Photo courtesy
