Last night i was lucky enough to get a few phonographs of the Lunar Eclipse, the sky was clear but the moon was low in the horizon and thus taking a good sharp photo was next to impossible. But at least i managed to gat a nice exposure of it.

Had i known how long it would take before the moon was totally eclipsed by the earths shadow i would have stayed indoors for at least another 30 min before venturing out side.

Starting at 8:42 p.m. ET (7:43 p.m. CT, 6:43 p.m. MT and 5:43 p.m. PT) and lasting for three hours, the last total lunar eclipse before 2010 was visible anywhere in North America lucky enough to have clear skies, according to NASA. It was also visible in Europe and Africa.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s shadow blocks the sun’s rays from hitting the moon. The three bodies must be perfectly aligned during a full moon, a rare event because the orbits of the moon and Earth are not on the same plane.
