Last June, there is an overall total eclipse from the Moon, and that i published some great pictures from it (see Related Posts, below). Later, I saw one which was truly amazing. Seriously, it doesn t get a lot better than this:
Holy wow! [Click to penumbrenate.]
That picture, by Chris Kotsiopoulos, is clearly a once-in-a-lifetime shot. He required it from Ikaria, a Greek island within the Aegean Ocean. He thought he would miss the eclipse because of a thunderstorm, however the clouds separated for any couple of minutes right in the center of the eclipse, and that he got his shot. You can observe the Moon, dull red-colored, floating on the horizon right of center. The multiple lightning strikes are, well, striking. As somebody who has attempted to consider pictures such as this many occasions, what s much more amazing in my experience is this fact would be a 28 second exposure! That didn t enable him with a lot of chances to obtain this shot right.
The following lunar eclipse is on December 10, 2011, and will also be visible to Asia and Australia. I haven t checked it for precision, because yikes, but wikipedia has a listing of lunar eclipses these days, with maps! The main one in August 2036 is especially lengthy. Mark your calendar.
