LUNAR ECLIPSE TONIGHT (15/4/14)

[Thu Thu Train]

HI GUYS,

Just in-case you haven't heard there is a lunar eclipse this evening.

Moonrise is at 5:49 and it will rise as a total eclipse. Totality should end about 45 minutes later with the eclipse finishing sometime after 7

In the past I've had a little difficulty seeing eclipses clearly; should probably invest in a telescope. Which leads to the point of this post: please please please post the photographs you take this evening!! ♥

If I can even see it myself... it'll be pretty low in the sky and I live in the way of Mt Dandenong

So I MIGHT be able to see it with my eyes tonight?

Why does my property have to be surrounded by trees that block every view of every eclipse that happens?

Damn trees, it's too low on the horizon to be able to see it. There's another total lunar eclipse happening in October, which we should actually be able to get a good view of (weather permitting).

I'm going to hold you to most of that. I want to see one D:

It looks really creepy atm! It's quite high in the sky for me (I live on top of a hill though)

It's high enough now, just didn't get to see the blood red phase of the eclipse.

Also for anyone interested Mars is the bright red/orange dot off to the left of the moon.

I completely forgot about this thread and the eclipse. When I looked up at the partial eclipse, I was just like "that's a really pretty crescent moon".

Oh my goodness beautiful capture. Do you live in a mountain cave three thousand kilometres above sea level!??

In the afternoon of Tuesday 29th April, there will be an annular solar eclipse, and a partial eclipse visible from all of Australia.
The eclipse will begin in Melbourne (3:58PM) and Sydney (4:13PM), and although the sun will set in those locations before the eclipse finishes, optimum viewing should be just as the sun starts to hit the horizon in our nation’s two largest cities.
