Lunar eclipse tonight! We Like the Moon!
I love a full moon, but when there’s a total lunar eclipse as well? So cool.
I don’t have the right kind of photography gear to take a picture of the event -plus, I’m a bit lazy and took this from the comfy, warm confines of my living room – but I snapped a picture to see if I could at least catch the colour of the shadow. It’s a reddish eclipse and will be judged on the Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness after the moon is at the stage of greatest coverage, which is around 23:21 UTC.
I had the same problem, although because of the way our house is positioned I had to go and sit down the end of the garden to take a picture. Having said that there are some stunning pictures on Flickr from people who don’t have to contend with streetlights!
