wow, leonids too?? coolness

One of my friends is hosting a ceremony Saturday night, for the Harmonic Concordance and Lunar Eclipse, but we're apparently being joined by a Native American Circle for their Thanksgiving Moon Ceremonies ... Gonna be a FULL night.

Dress warmly...

21 degrees F. Eclipse and meteors... very much worth the price of admission. The girls made sugar cookies with frosting eclipse phases... cool. No luck on the Aurora.

It was nice and clear here for the beginning, but then by 7:45PM EST I saw a cloud system moving in, and I knew it was over... sure enough, by 8:00 it was covered up, only a few minutes before the start of totality. Oh well, it was more than I've seen of the last few.

Next lunar eclipse: May 4
Next one visible in the US: Oct. 28

The eclipse was indeed cool ... the cloud cover held off at my viewing location until afterwards ... but was 85-90% thereafter, so didn't get to see the Leonids :( Shame we didn't get the full blood-red color ... was just kinda dark coppery at full where I was. (Border of Berks and Montgomery County)

The ceremonies and the drumming were cool (and indoors) ... :)
