The rarely seen

I climbed out of the 86th B/C station around ten and was walking over to Columbus when I saw that everyone else was standing still and looking up at something high over my shoulder. When I turned around I saw the shadow of our own planet cast upon the moon.

Did I expect vampires? Werewolves, unicorns? Yes, yes and don't be silly.

I nearly took a picture but I didn't. "Look everyone, see this brown dot in the sky."

In the end I kept walking. It might be more interesting from the other end to witness what would be an earth-induced solar eclipse.
