People watching
I walked outside at 2am today to look at the moon because, well, it's a clear night and these are the things I quit my job to be able to do. Not to specifically look at a lunar eclipse, but to just take advantage of a moment to stare at the sky late at night and not feel bad about it.
As I was walking, I saw someone climb out of their window and sit, probably to stare at the moon. I saw a few people standing at the neighborhood green space, probably staring at the moon. I saw a girl walk by me, and then I saw her walk back past me in the other direction, and I knew she wanted to look at the moon too. I later passed by her a third time, and she was leaning against a pole, looking up at the sky.
I looked up as well, but I kind of enjoy observing the people observing the sky more.
