Last night was a total lunar eclipse. The next one will not be until 2010. When the moon passes into the Earth’s shadow, the moon is illuminated by the diffuse glow of the Earth’s atmosphere. This causes the moon to appear red in color.
The first photograph was taken at 9:07 PM EST and the last at 10:00 PM. The eclipse lasted over 4 hours.

The guitarist, speaking to Reuters, assured fans that his finger would be fine for ther concert, scheduled to take place on December 10.
“I suppose something like a Zeppelin reunion wouldn’t be right without a bit of drama,” he joked.
“This is two to two-and-a-half weeks from the injury and there we are, it’s doing that,” Page continued, wiggling his finger. “It’s going to be fine for the concert. It’s just a bit bruised and a bit painful, but it’s going to be fine.”
