Once in a Millennium...

 

Alright, so it happened last week, but with all the Christmas festivities and whatnot I have been a bit too preoccupied to report - but on December 21st (2010), for the first time since 1638 (that's 372 years, for you kids counting at home) a full lunar eclipse took place on the same day as the Northern Winter Solstice... that's only the second time it has happened in the Common Era.




Needless to say, it was amazingly beautiful in a "the universe is amazing and infinite" kind of way - check out this time lapse video to try and get a taste of how spectacular it was without waiting the 4 hours in the cold! ...ignore the cheesy ocean sounds


Peace & Love, 
la bohémienne
