Description Lunar eclipse: wikki

"A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, the Moon is always full during a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The most recent total lunar eclipse was on 28 August 2007 where the sun, earth and moon were in total alignment. The initial stage started at 07:52 UTC, while the total eclipse began at 09:52 UTC turning it bronze, with reddish to blood red at its peak. Eastern Australia and New Zealand were in the perfect zone to view the total lunar eclipse or "blood moon".

well, they say we were in the right place for the recent lunar eclipse, but boy was it cloudy and tough to see. i was only able to capture it sporadically, so what you see is the best of what i got. compilation of all of them put together in photoshop, not much editing at all. hope you enjoy because the next one won't be for a few years now!

I wish I had a camera good enough to take shots of the one I just watched. I dunno if it was a total! one,..but..I watched it start out from being a white moon til It was full covered and turned to a reddish orange color, but..I'm inside now[obviously if I'm typing..>>] but..I'll keep watching it to see if it turns red :3.

Beautiful shots btw.^^ I envy you and your camera...>>

I remember that!
It was so incredibly cloudy that you could barely see anything.

Isn't it interesting how spectacular the moon is, and how much we all take it for granted?

yeah, it was a pretty cloudy night, and i had to stick around outside for hours to get these, but i'm happy with the result. it's things like this which really put life into perspective, hey!

Well done!
I love how you put them all together like this.

YES! I really do hate it, and I said to myself, "Oh well, SOMEONE will get pictures of it!" At least we were able to see it with perfect clarity.

Heh, well I read in Yahoo news (which is where I heard about it) that I am living in a prime location to see it, so I was like, "Hot damn, no WAY I'm missing this!" Normally, we're like you, too cloudy, or like other areas and not in the right place in the world to see it well.
