Joel,
Just so you won't feel alone, my masterpiece lunar eclipse photos prove the
Earth really does rotate. The Moon moved across the sky much faster than I
had imagined:

If only I had used a much faster shutter speed <sigh>. With a Physics
degree there's *no* excuse. I could have calculated its angular velocity
so easily or looked it up in the Astronomical Almanac gathering dust on my
bookshelf. Oh well, there will be another opportunity in three or four years.
