Nice work!

I wasn't very hyped over it this time around anyway. I have a series of pics very similar to hers, but of a lunar eclipse driven blood moon from several years ago. . .

Tell her all of us at the Zone approve.  ;D

Nice to see young people taking an interest in things like this.

Cool.  The clouds parted a little bit so we could see some of it, but it really wasn't clear enough to enjoy.

The really cool thing about it in my area was that the clouds started clearing up just as the eclipse started. Then I could see the bats flying with the moon and clouds as the backdrop. The was awesome!

Yes, that kind of bats! They swarm over my back yard this time of year. There is a nice little tree-lined stream that runs through the back of my yard and as long as I have lived here, the bats have loved it. I guess the stream and trees provide them with lots of bugs to eat.

My daughter posted her picture on Flickr and NASA Goodard Space Flight Center liked it and used it on their Flickr site.  She had nearly 900 likes.

I think it is pretty cool...

Is your daughter an astronomer, HH?  Her photo made me think of something I did years ago in Bluefield. A friend who knew I was a stargazer gave me a camera and showed me how to use for  timed photos. I knew that if you pointed the camera at the North Star and left it there during the night you would get a picture of star trails -- they look like little dashes in a circular pattern with the North Star in the center. I waited for a clear moonless night and set the camera up and after a while went to bed. The next day I took the film to Grubb Photo to get it printed, and got a call that there was nothing on the film. I said "print it anyway," and sure enough there were the star trails encircling the North Star.  I still have that picture somewhere.
