"It's a String Thing" #253

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

I would imagine that the longest lunar eclipse of the century - due on Thursday - must be creating quite a stir on the other side of the globe.  In the United States we will rely on news coverage and photographs to appreciate the event. 

Let's all mark the occasion by tangling together and begin with this string ~

There is an "M" for the moon in there :)
The tangles we will use include three by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas ~

Crescent Moon
