[ATMoB-discuss] Tonight's Eclipse

While driving in Lowell around 8 PM I noticed that the Moon was
intermittently visible through the clouds so a parked in a parking lot
to watch the end of the eclipse.  At 8:08 PM the low thick cloud
blocking the Moon gave way to a high thin cloud.  I was able to see the
slightly eclipsed Moon through the high thin cloud.  Just around the
time partial phase of the eclipse ended, as if on cue, the high thin
cloud gave way to a clear sky.

P.S. The next lunar eclipse is in August.  That one will be in the
      very early morning, with the Moon setting and the Sun rising a
      little before totality ends.
