11月19日の部分皆既月食。月の97%が地球の影に入るということで、ほぼ皆既月食、しかも3時間半ほどの長時間観察ができるとのこと。日が暮れる前から落ち着かなくて仕方がない。近所ではドローンも。夕焼けは赤くて、天気が良くないような兆しが。国立天文台のライブ映像をチラチラ見ながら、東の空を時々チェック。雲で霞んで見えた時にはすでに既に欠けていたお月さま。最大になった時には赤銅色に。チビにも見せたけれど、まあまあな反応。そうですね、興奮しているのは私だけです。その間、東京タワーは大谷MVPのお祝いのライトアップ。うちからは見えないので、お友達の送ってくれた写真を拝借。おめでとう!
A partial lunar eclipse happened on Nov. 19. 97% of the moon will go in the shade of earth. It lasted about 3 and a half hours, the longest since 1440, and the longest until 2669. Somebody was flying a drone in the neighbourhood, sunset was burning, restless of me kept checking on a live by National Astronomy Observatory of Japan.

When it reached the max, the moon looked bronze, and I was the only one who was so excited. Meanwhile, Tokyo Tower had a special light up to cereblate Ootani winning MVP. I couldn't see from our house, so my friend sent me one. Congratulations!

"I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...
