Blood Moon Eclipse 2014 Photo by Kevin Winter: Composite of Blood Moon Eclipse, April 15, 2014

Four lunar eclipses in the next 18 months— prophecies of doom? I walk twenty paces from my apartment to see the eclipsed moon. Above the Blood Moon during tonight's eclipse is the red planet Mars. Below the Full Moon to the right is Spica brightest star in Virgo. From dark sliver crescent to bright full Frog Moon— may wisdom light my mind. The next day I look at Blood Moon eclipse photos from around the world. Tokyo roof antenna balances moon like a ball on its tiptop. At Austin Capitol Building, Liberty Goddess statue juggles the Blood Moon. At St. Olaf Church in Wisconsin, Blood Moon dances with a White Cross. It's Passover time and the Moon is singing "Enjoy the circus show." — Peter Y. Chou     Mountain View, 4-16-2014
