We've looked at an eclipse from both sides now...
While @NASAGlenn was looking up to see last night's Blood Moon, @fireflyspace's Blue Ghost lunar lander was looking back at the "diamond ring" of a solar eclipse. A reminder that what you see often depends on your point of view.

25 years ago I tore this Richard Wilbur poem out of the New Yorker because I loved it so much. I still think its final stanza is one of the most beautiful descriptions of love I know: “Like a good fiddle, like the rose’s scent, / Like a rose window, or the firmament.”
