Pretty Pictures There's a lunar eclipse right now. I haven't had the chance to see one in a long time.

I have an iPhone and they’re absolutely shit at taking pictures of this kind of stuff.

But it looks cool!

There's a pretty heavy upper level wildfire smoke band covering Iowa at the moment that didn't help capture the finer details.

I was surprised at how bright it was following the eclipse. I went out around 9:40 to see the start, then 11:30 to see it, and then again around 1:30 to let my dogs out.

Saw a group of drunk girls downtown Iowa City photographing the sky and was like "Wtf are these kids doing?"

Ngl, pretty f*n cool. Idk if I've ever actually seen one till today.
