What was the Earth protecting the moon from last night anyway?
Ah, the solstice sun… First time in 456 years, apparently.
Happy Solstice. More here.

Happy solstice mate. That moon is a “blood moon” isn’t it–the kind of one that in the Middle Ages they thought was a sign of imminent apocalypse…amazing. I saw the glow but not the moon, because of the clouds–obscured here in Davis, CA. But it happened at about 11.40pm and I was still up…
Lucky you. I saw it in my dreams only (I think).
Intrigued about the date, I just looked up what happened in 1544: Mongols burned Peking, Turks invaded Hungary (again), rats arrived in North America, Portuguese arrived in Taiwan.
1545: battles (English and French, English and Scots, Georgians and Turks), hunger in China.
1546: battles, Spaniards conquering the Yucatan, births, deaths.
The usual things, all fit for a blood moon.
Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!!
