The moon during the lunar eclipse. High level thin clouds in our area softened the image a bit and gives it a glow.
"Western North America will have a front-row seat on Saturday as the full moon gets painted red in the briefest eclipse this century.
The most spectacular part of the eclipse will be the totality phase, when Earth's shadow completely covers the moon and turns it an eerie red. The moon will only skirt the deepest and darkest part of Earth’s shadow, or umbra, and totality could last anywhere from nine to 12 minutes.
This weekend's blood moon will be the third of four lunar eclipses, dubbed a tetrad, over the course of two years. The pattern won’t repeat for another 20 years or so. The first and second happened in April and September 2014, and the last of the tetrad will grace our skies on September 28, 2015."
Visto em Curitiba em 15 de junho de 2011. Infelizmente a intensa poluição impediu que se visualizasse a fase de totalidade.
Seen from Curitiba, southern Brazil, in June 15th 2011. Unfortunately the intense pollution did not allow me to see the totality.
Best of the night, unfortunately. I was too tired and it was too cold to get any successful shots in the total phase.
This was the best image I got from the 14-15 April 2014 eclipse. Surprisingly (and luckily) the skies stayed clear for the first part of the eclipse. I heard it clouded up later, but I went to bed after the full eclipse started. (Work in the am.)
