Lunar eclipse and satellite down...

Being the lunatic moon child I am, I couldn't pass to post cool pictures about this lunar eclipse, and why not, mention the other space event, the spy satellite shutdown...

Through time, people have always been scared of eclipses. In astrology, the lunar eclipse means changes. So, this is the time to get rid of old habits, bad relationships etc... and start with new beginnings.

In Venezuela, it was the only country in the whole planet where the eclipse was seen in two ways. Thanks Plinio :)
