There are Footprints On the Moon

Penumbra - from the Latin paene "almost" or "nearly"

 and umbra "shadow"-  is the region in which only a portion 

of the light source is obscured by

 the occluding body, which in this case is the Earth.

The penumbra is covering more than half of the moon's surface

 I stayed outside and watched until the entire

 moon was cloaked in shadow. Mars was 

visible too!

Did you get a chance to see the lunar eclipse

 last night? It was warm and windy here,

 around 60 degrees at midnight- perfect for 

moon watching!
