Sunday night or this morning it was a matter of perspective for the viewing of a special Blood Moon. This is the only total Lunar Eclipse of the year for the part of the world I reside in. This total Lunar Eclipse was fully visible During a Lunar Eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and moon become closely aligned in the sky, and the bright moon slowly turns darker and changes its color as it drifts across the Earth’s shadow. Light-reflecting from the sun makes the moon appear to glow in a rusty orange or reddish color, which is why many astronomy experts and writers refer to this moon as a “Blood Moon.”
The eclipse started on Sunday night at 9:32 pm. with the full eclipse beginning about an hour later. It ended Monday morning at 12:53 am. It was definitely worth going out and observing it. I also tried to get photos, but the low light of the eclipse made it tough, but I got some.
