that was way cool, ok not technical here, but it was earths shadow upon the moon very cool and when it was nearly blocked out the moon turned a dark reddish black color with a we sliver of light below it... spectacular, Jr Minks and I watched it at 3AM this morning.
So very cool.

We had one here about 6 months ago. I made a big bowl of popcorn and sat with my daughters watching it. When the moon was shadowed it did as you said. We enjoyed it very much, the next time there will be one in Ireland my girls will be in their 30’s. Hopefully they will think back to the evening they spent eating popcorn with their dad.

The one night that I was glad I have insomnia... woke me up at the
perfect time!!
The sky was crystal clear, too.
