I went to bed early and set the alarm to wake up around 12:15 am on April 15th, 2014. I wanted to see the lunar eclipse that would make the first of the tetrad of lunar eclipses that will end on Sept. 28th, 2015.
As the eclipse began, I woke Barbe, Luis and Nolvia and we all gathered somewhat sleepily on the upper porch. Mark Ben and Thomas were spending the night with their youth group in El Socorro and were, I'm quite sure, still awake.
Here’s the definition of a lunar tetrad: four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons).
