Last week marked the total lunar eclipse. If you missed it, you will have to wait until December 20, 2010 and hope the weather's clear. Timothy just finished a class on space at the bookstore, learned about the phases of the moon, and we are reading a space book this month. All this and I didn't know the lunar eclipse was coming until the radio announced it. It seemed a fitting addition to our schooling and he stayed up late to watch the eclipse with Dad on a special outing. When I asked him what he thought, he said it was just like what we read: that ancient people used to think the moon was being eaten up by a dragon.
