Last night was a lunar eclipse. And, apparently not just any lunar eclipse, but a relatively rare "central eclipse" where the moon passes through the center of the Earth's shadow. The last total, central lunar eclipse was July 16, 2000 and the next will be July 27, 2018.
The lunar eclipse started at 9:23 p.m. This photo was taken around 9:40.
The total lunar eclipse started at 10:22 p.m. This photo was taken around 10:15 before it became too dark for the camera to actually capture anything.
The previous lunar eclipses I have seen have left the moon a deep red. In this case, I actually lost site of the moon completely. It was amazing.
