During July 2018 on Orion for Iconic Mediterranean we had an astronomer, Howard, who held a lecture on the night of the lunar eclipse on the uppermost deck of the ship with the lights turned off. Before the event, he gave a presentation of the extraordinary lunar eclipse that was about to occur in the planetarium Dome. The night of the eclipse, we climbed to the top of the ship, champagne glasses in hand with our fellow passengers oooing and ahhing in enchantment as he pointed out the space station and all the planets visible in the sparkling Mediterranean night sky, especially Mercury rising and the Blood Moon, which was spectacular. Every one of the dozens attending loved it, gazing at the constellations while Howard described the events. That evening was one of the highlights of our trip. It would not have happened without Howard and the Dome.
