Some changes in the moon are very minor, barely noticeable.  This is a big change.  Looks ominous (and totally cool!).  Wish we had a better view, but I'm happy we got to see it at all.

Can you see Mars trailing the moon?

Because of the roofline/treeline, no.  We're hoping to see it clearer soon.  Likely we won't see it in time, though.  We got a cool app that shows it in real time through the buildings and what have you, it's the best we can do.  

We live in a dense area of the city here, no way to see over the 5 story rooftops that surround us for miles.  I feel lucky we glimpsed it through some trees earlier.
