Dr. Harry Leckenby is my hero.

My favorite emails ever are the Starry Nights emails that come once a month or so. Here is an excerpt of a great one:

There will be a total eclipse of the Moon on the morning of December 21st (the morning of the last day of finals). This will be the last total lunar eclispe visible from North America until 2014, but the down side is that maximum eclipse will bas at 2:20 AM.

I will be here, taking images of the eclipse, and (what the heck) pulling an all-night grading session. If anyone else wants to observe the eclipse through telescopes on campus, you are welcome to come as well.


(You don't *need* to come to the observing deck on top of Hoffman Hall to see this; you could just step outside, or like high in the west out your window, but, hey, telescopes.)

Fantastic, sir.
