Uzbekistan was in a prime location to watch the entire sequence of a full lunar eclipse on the night of September 7, 2025. The TIS science teachers had their telescopes out on Sunday night for the students. I took my daughter Ocean, who enjoyed watching the eclipse and seeing the rings of Saturn. It is amazing to see the Earth’s shadow move across the Moon. The full eclipse and “blood red” moon peaked around 11:15 PM. Above are some photos from my iPhone that show the full moon, then the partial eclipse, and finally, about 15 minutes after the total lunar eclipse. I admire the astronomers who can predict these events with such accuracy.
I ran a full 10 kilometers along the Ankhor Canal on Sunday morning. My body felt it as this summer I did more cycling than running. It was a slow 10km, over 1 hour. I aim to run more often and get a time in the 50-minute range. The cool waters of the canal were refreshing! I was swimming with the usual Russian senior citizens who frequent the canal in the early mornings. The pathway along the canal is one of my favorite places in the city.
