Super blood wolf moon eclipse 2019, as best as I can get by handholding my phone


Tonight's Lunar Eclipse.  I didn't even know about it until I saw the Earth's shadow upon the moon while casually looking out a living room window.  As soon as I saw, I started watching in the backyard; and experimenting with my phone camera to capture the moments.

Almost to the total Lunar Eclipse. This is about as good of a shot I can get handholding my phone. Peak of the total eclipse is in about 15min; via Instagram http://bit.ly/2MssKQ1


This photo was taken near the peak.  It took a fair amount of Instagram filter use to bring this photo to the point of being marginally recognizable; via Instagram http://bit.ly/2sEQRSl

Plural of the word "Octopus"? "Octopodes" of course! Well, kinda. Most people just say "Octopuses" and some others say "Octopi". Apparently, "Octopus" isof Greek origin, so use of "i" is supposedly incorrect, but "-odes" is correct. In English, we just add "-es" like everything else that ends in "-s". So, "Octopuses" it is!!!

Cacti, Cactuses and Cactus are all correct as plural for the word "Cactus". Same is not true for the word "Octopus".
