Reports Report 2132afm (Event 2132-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Edward K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This is the first time I have ever experienced an astronomical event of this magnitude. I was driving my vehicle down a country road with no traffic. I slowed down my vehicle to observe the event. I can say my perspective was good because the moon was on the other side of my vehicle and I had the window open. I hope to see something like this again some day. |
