Quite a bit going on in space last night, I suppose this is not at all unusual, however, I have pictures this time. At 2226 EST the USS Lake Erie fired a modified tacticle missle and hit a dying satellite traveling at over 17,000 mph at an altitude of 133 nautical miles. Now that is certainly a good shot.
The picture shows another good shot, the stages of the lunar eclipse last night. Unfortunately, it was raining in Houston, but there are great pictures in Flickr.
Update: Check out this video of the USS Lake Erie launch. the audio is a little sparse but amazing video.
