Peek-A-Boo Hunter's Moon
Kudos to kjvbear for reminding me. Tomorrow night might be a good time to make a camp fire, sip some mulled wine, converse with friends and watch the Lunar Eclipse, just in time for Halloween, Samhain, All Souls Night, or what ever your holiday du jour in the next few days may be.

Although the Moon orbits the Earth once every 28 days, most of the time when it passed behind the Earth, the tilt of the orbital plane makes it miss or only clip the earth's shadow. A full lunar eclipse is when the moon fully enters the earth's shadow.
