The moon woke me up around 4 o’clock this morning. She had lit up my room with a beautiful red glow and even blurry eyed it was awesome. By 4:15am I was sitting out on the stoop trying to take pictures which didn’t turn out so grand but I did get this one. I will be staying up tonight to see the lunar eclipse if the weather holds out- but it’s not sounding too promising at this point as they are talking rain, hail, and high winds so we will see I guess.
GREENBELT, Md., Aug. 27 (UPI) — A total eclipse of the moon in the early hours of Tuesday will be visible from North and South America, Australia and western Asia.
During a total lunar eclipse, the moon crosses into the shadow of the earth, taking on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and very dark gray. The color depends on the amount of pollution in the air, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Center said in a release.
The moon will be completely in the Earth’s shadow for 90 minutes, the deepest and longest in seven years, NASA said. The eclipse, which will begin after midnight Tuesday in the United States.
Hey Manerva…haven’t checked in in a while.
How are you? That’s a wonderful shot of the eclipse.
