Special lunar eclipse brings out Bay Area moon fans

The moon put on its big show early this morning, as scheduled, and a lot of people dragged themselves out of bed to keep the appointment. A good place to see the Super Blue Blood Lunar Eclipse was the back deck of the Chabot Space and Science Center in the Oakland hills. At 3 a.m., just as the moon was getting itself organized, there were more folding chairs than a tailgate party. Ginny Garrett of Berkeley was sitting in one of them, munching an apple by the light of the penumbra. “I’m a sucker for celestial events’” she said. “And this is a free show.” Lunar eclipses, unlike their solar brethren, aren’t particularly rare.
