Observations 12-21

2 AM-3 AM

Tonight my dad shook me awake for the lunar eclipse.  Even though I was tired, had a clogged nose, was unable to go back to bed without my dad screaming at me, and cold even with a jacket on, I was till able to notice Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Gemini, Taurus, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor.  I also noticed Polaris, Rigel, Betelgeuse, and Sirius.  The moon was located in a constellation near Orion (unsure which one) when it turned dark red.
