As anyone who's even remotely interested in astronomy knows, this morning brought, for some, an 'impossible' total lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, owing to my living in the Eastern United states, I wasn't able to see either the partial, let alone total phases. In the end, it would have been a moot point as the clouds obscured the Moon, anyway. However, for people living in the Western United States who were lucky enough to have clear skies, some wonderful photo-ops abounded this morning. After all, it's not too often that you get to partner an eclipsed Moon with the famous Moon illusion.
Now, despite only a few hours having elapsed since the eclipse itself, the web is already starting to get flooded with pictures of the event.
Some good galleries can be found here:

Earth & Sky
Huffington Post
Thai Visual
Needless to say, there will be many, many more galleries popping up in the coming hours, so keep your eyes open!

Humble requests:
If you found this informative (or at least entertaining), help me pay my bills and check out my Examiner pages for space news, cleveland photography, national photography, and astronomy for more great stuff.
If you think this was cool, why not tell a friend?
