First Post and Welcome

Here's my first blog post! Hopefully this all goes well. I'm a 22 (almost 23) year-old with a physics degree and am interested in astronomy, mythology, and writing. I decided to celebrate Halloween today by working on a short horror story - only got a bit done, but I did learn that a lunar eclipse would be visible at dusk. This one, by the way, occurs on Feb. 11, 2055, best visible in Africa, but partially on the east American coast as well. If you get a chance, you might want to check out the sky when the date comes around.
