The eclipse began to recede
People gathered in parks around the city but we stayed home and watched from the driveway. City lights didn't interfere too much. Over the next hour or so it turned red or the "Blood Moon".
As the shadow of the earth passed over the moon the edge brightened.
Here's what we saw over an hour and a half, from total eclipse to emerging out of it.
This type of lunar eclipse won't happen again until 2033.

Oh, that is so cool. We had a thin haze also. It was amazing how bright the night was after the eclipse was over.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Shirley! Nice use of the Auto Awesome feature. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Shirley! We saw it as the moon was still rising here but had to use a telescope to get a good view when it was in full eclipse.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and wonderful time lapse video! We watched as well but I didn't try to take pictures. How cool that we all experienced this special event!
ReplyDeleteClouds and city lights interfered with with our view here just south and west of Austin. The real excitement was a fire in an empty house under renovation just down the street which had flashing emergency vehicle lights dancing around our walls from 2:30-4:00. It was dramatic lighting, just not the kind we'd hoped to see!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!!! I did not get any that good. We watched from the cul-de-sac...it was a sight!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures...Houston was totally clouded over!
ReplyDeleteWe had to drive down to the end of the road to escape the towering trees. Got there a little late for the full effect, so really appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots!!!! It was so cloudy here at the house we barely saw anything- the eclipse of course but not the color. Thanks for posting!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any of it because it was so cloudy. But we ended up with much needed rain instead and that was fine by me. Beautiful photos!
