The total lunar eclipse

Last night, we were able to see the total lunar eclipse in Japan.

It started around 6:15pm and the moon was covered in the shadow of the Earth completely from 7:30pm around.

I was looking at the moon with my family.
Especially my children were especially excited to look at the waning moon.
But!!!
When the moon had just hidden completely and we had just been able to watch the red moon, the moon was covered with the cloud... I was so disappointed.

After that, we could sometimes see the red moon from the breaks in the clouds.
 
"Wow, I can see the moon!"

"Oh no! The moon has just been behind a cloud again!"

We fluctuated between hopes and fears, we made a fuss in the quiet red moon night.
