2007 March 04 @ 01:53 SAST. Anthony writes that the "Greek gods expressed their anger this weekend in the most categorical way and adversely affected the first lunar total eclipse in three years and the first of two such eclipses during 2007 with a plethora of clouds (thin and thick depending on their mood during the course of the eclipse) ... Europe has been hammered this winter and particularly this weekend where bad weather was common throughout the continent."

His stunning image (upside down, because Athens is north of the equator) shows 56 Leonis to the bottom right.
