Apocalypse moon

Instead of going to bed at a decent hour on Sunday night, we stayed up and took periodic jaunts out to our nearby soccer field to see the lunar eclipse. 

(these are the best photos I could get with my DSLR and no tripod!)

It reminded us of the vastness of space and creation, and I got chills thinking about how much empty space lies between us and the moon I was gazing at. 

Also, it reminded us that we really want a telescope.
