Lunar Eclipse

There was a total lunar eclipse last night. It was cloudy here, so I missed it.

It is exceedingly rare for an eclipse to fall on the solstice, or so I'm told, the last time being about 370 years ago.

That fact reminded me of the short story "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury. OK, not exactly, but you get the idea. Follow the links to find a copy of the short story. (I used to hate the short film in grade school, but now that I'm older, I find the deeper meaning in both the film and the short story.)
