So not since 1866 has there been a blue, blood, moon. This is when it is closest to earth, two moons within a month, and it is eclipsed by the earth. I got my 6 year old boy out of bed and he was so excited about this, went outside at 4;51am and it was very big, orange, and unique. Of course he got bored after a minute or two, so now I'm telling him the stories of what it must have been like in caveman days when they saw it.
And it brought up the opportunity to bring up the civil war, since the last one was right after it ended. The concept of slavery was hard for him to grasp at first, but then he got it and knew it was a really bad thing. He is still struggling with friends and brothers ever fighting against each other, but it is sinking in..
If you are up and in CA go out and look, it will be going until 6;07 they say. Wont get another chance, unless of course we get to upload our brains into a computer to live forever...
