Google rescued the moon

Last night was supposed to have been one of the most wonderful lunar sights to view.  The moon being eclipsed. During this process it turns a magnificent blood red colour.  But one thing the moon could not of accounted for on such a wonderful occaision was the weather.  Big nosey clouds spanned the entire sky.  For they to were bustling to get a good view of what was going on.  Those poor mortals much lower down in the cloud's pecking order didn't get a whisker of a chance.  Nope.  Old big ed cloud stuck himself right in the mid of view.  Relatively speaking not even mid view but pretty close to our own noses.  Bloody things.  Fortunately for earthlings there was this little thing called Google.  As soon as the page was opened up a graphic of the moon hovered above the darkened title.  As the page loaded you could see the moon go through it's phases and then once loaded it was possible to pull a slider button accross and see it go through the same phases at whatever pace desired.  Yep.  Google rescued the moon. 

Three hips for Google.
