Explanation of October Total Lunar Eclipse via Space.com

Miss the Total Lunar Eclipse like I did?  Clouds - the destroyer of all that is good in the astronomy world and rolling hills destroyed my view due to that fact our moon was hanging low in the horizon.  Space.com does a good job of explaining what we would have seen.  Additionally, during complete Totality a turquoise ring would have appeared around the orange ball, which would have been the ozone ring if you would have had a chance to see it.  Yes!  I am jaded.
