James C. Wallace II, astronomer, photographer and author of a series of fantasy novels set in the world of Oz, sent me this great picture of the lunar eclipse that took place on April 4 - Easter Saturday.
He said: "It would seem that good fortune blessed me yesterday morning with a perfect view of the lunar eclipse. Having photographed 18 of these prior to yesterday morning, I thought I would go for an artistic view this time. I think I succeeded. I hope you like this? This was taken right after totality began and about 15 minutes before moonset. I was outside Terre Haute, Indiana when I took this one."
He added: "BTW, you really should read my 3rd book; Family of Oz which features a blood-red moon (an eclipsed moon) and all of Oz howling at it."
