Antipodean Longings

Totality (crop)

I remember back in 2000 sitting in a hot tub in California watching a lunar eclipse that happened just after sunset. It was a magical and memorable experience. So tonight I'm wishing I was in Australia so that I could find a hot tub at sunset and repeat the experience.

The lunar eclipse is due at 09:52 UTC so it will be invisible here in the UK, but that timing is perfect for somewhere like Sydney. Here's my picture from March - I'm envious of my antipodean friends tonight though.
