The last total lunar eclipse until 2010 occurred tonight, giving skywatchers all over the world (including myself) an easy opportunity to observe heavenly bodies interacting with one another. It was difficult to get a decent picture of it (I’m not great with a camera) but I did manage to snap one decent picture out of the bunch; click the thumbnail for the full image (728KB).

A very cool thing to have witnessed, very humbling when you consider the enormity of the Earth as its shadow creeps over the moon. Happy observing!
