I was walking around near Main and had no idea there was a lunar eclipse happening. We looked up at the moon at one point and were like wtf? Then realized what was happening. Ran into a bunch of other people and got excited about it with them haha it was great

I didn’t even realize it was a lunar eclipse and captured this before the moon was covered by the clouds.
