Due to significant cloud cover, the lunar eclipse early this morning was not visible in my area. But it is good to hear that other bloggers managed to see it: Chet Raymo<\/a>\u00a0saw it in the Bahamas, and Charles Halton shared a link to photos as well as thoughts on eclipses in ancient Babylonia and Israel<\/a>. Steve Wiggins<\/a> had an exam to give today and so couldn\u2019t stay up.<\/p>\n

Did you stay up to watch it?<\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, here\u2019s a video I shared before \u2013 a hilarious overly literal interpretation of the video for the song \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart.\u201d
