Meh....

Not as impressive as solar eclipses. I've seen the lunar eclipse several times now and its not all that impressive. It's just the moon turning orange/red and I'm not really keen on getting up at 5 AM and freeze my asphalt off in the cold night air just to look at the moon turn red.

Although if I had a nice telescope it would've been cool to take a look at the rings of Saturn and Rigel (at least I think that was the star that was going to make an appearance).

You sure you're not just talking about a harvest moon? :| A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through Earth's shadow. It is common for the moon to turn red during an eclipse, though this is not always the case.

Harvest moons are yellow bakayero. Didn't I say "orange/red"? Obviously I'm talking about a lunar eclipse which I've seen several times now and they're not as impressive as the first time seeing one.

I was reading through one of my favorite comics when I noticed the shirt the guy was wearing. Top Gear must be really popular as the artist is American.
