This was real neat to see, both in animation and real life. It was a good lunar
eclipse. Saw a total eclipse once that got very dark gray-blue then a deep rust
red as it emerged, another was very red all over and could have passed for being
Mars. This one was probably number three in rank of the ones I've seen, too bad
I haven't seen any more than those 3 total ones. A few other partial ones too,
just not as colorful.
The representation you have done here is nice and I'm wondering how you went
about it. I had thought of doing one too but to try and mimic the others I've
seen also.
