Yesterday (and early today) was the super rare Transit of Venus, but a while back there was a spiffing eclipse of the Moon.
Here is a great photo from Astronomy Pic of the Day, of said eclipse over Cody, WY, an area where I have spent time and have family ties, and a stone’s throw from the Carmelites who make Mystic Monk Coffee.

that’s a great photo of a great scene.
I like trying to get sharp shots of the moon, so I really enjoyed this. Thanks
Seen from Wyoming, the moon looks EXACTLY like that we are seeing in France
That’s fantastically beautiful!
I know it’s not the desert Southwest, but it reminds me of it!
