As I write, in the wee hours, the freezing rain has just begun to fall. All weather predictions are a craps shoot but, with ice it seems that it must be harder to predict.
I went over to weather.com to see what the guess is anyway. We are under a winter storm warning blah, blah, blech. It’s one of those websites where I always click on something inadvertently and it seems like I’m constantly scurrying to find that one small piece of information that seems elusive. Maybe it’s just me.
Why do I need an interactive weather map? Weather is already interactive. I just want to maybe see a satellite image or Doppler radar or something. It doesn’t need to be something to play with like a kids menu at Denny’s.
So, I heard a lot of stuff about this lunar eclipse and I thought I might try to get some pictures of it. The news said that the prime time would be 8-8:30 in this neck of the woods. Unfortunately, by that time there was a lot of cloud cover and it wasn’t visible at all. I did take a couple of test shots earlier though, including this one.
Now, I don’t have a lot of experience taking pictures. Does anybody have any clue what that is on the left side there?

Very interesting. It was visible here too, the eclipse I mean, but I didn’t wake up to see it. I remember I had seen once the moon very close to earth that it was very big and I was staring with somebody asking WTF is that?!! Is it the moon? Man, it can not be, it is too large. It was the moon…
What you have there, anyway, beats me…

Perhaps it’s a microscopic galaxy that landed on your camera lens after hitchin’ a ride on a snow/slush flake? Magnified by the water droplet and containing millions of life forms.

I vote in favor of Margaret’s explanation, only with a little more explanation. I know it isn’t a democracy in here, so let me expound.
As you all know rarefraction of the parallax bifocular photonics could have rather ignited a new universe in a universal prism of colors. And now like she says, after this Big Bang, millions of life-forms are looking for a reason to exist. One tiny glitch: only that you are now their God.
Good luck with that, Sasqwatch!
