South Bayviewland was treated to the sight a magnificent full moon Saturday evening. The clear skies that have brought very nice late autumn weather made a fine background for the lunar orb. It is seen here from Merton Street west of Mt. Pleasant. The local sight follows what was reportedly a good total eclipse of the full moon early Saturday. It was however only visible in the skies over the Pacific Northwest. This was the last total lunar eclipse until 2014 and one of only 85 times this century that the moon will be totally eclipsed, according to astronomers. The most recent total lunar eclipse in June 2011 was visible from every continent on Earth except North America.
