Last night (Sept. 7), the year's second total lunar eclipse swept across Asia, with Europe getting good views, too.
The U.S. was left out of the viewing party, so here on Second Avenue and Third Street, we improvised.
Felton set up a plastic screen with a red moon painted on it, using a blood-red filter to mimic the eclipse. The effect was convincing enough to draw a few skeptical passersby who stopped to ask questions.
Next spring, another total lunar eclipse will be visible here — and no filter will be necessary.
