Did you see it? Night before last, we were witness to one of science’s more fascinating phenomenons — a total lunar eclipse. Dawn and I were driving home and watched it directly in front of us as we made our way up the hill from Sacramento, at least until it became obscured by clouds. It never ceases to amaze us, as I suppose is true for most people since such occurrences are some of the most witnessed and photographed worldwide.
