It was pretty awesome, so I grabbed my camera to document it. Unfortunately, the clouds had dispersed by the time I got back outside. It was just the moon now, with a few wisps of cloud drifting away from it like protesters from a tear gas canister.
I debated not posting this because, after all, the sight had passed. Anyway, here's the photo, although it does virtually no justice. Click it to embiggen it.
Also, I promise after this I will not post anything about the moon for at least 3 days.
In some sense, that story is a perfect representation of what it takes for life on earth to happen. Everything has to be aligned at right moment, in the right timing, every increment and distance from planet to planet, from earth to moon, from earth to sun-- all of it has to be just right. As easy as it is for us to miss out on that perfect picture, can you imagined how much more insanely important all the minute details of our universe are just for life to exist on earth?
