Lyneham Church Lunar Eclipse 2008

On a night following a week of crisp, bright and clear skies we anticipated a spectacle with another total lunar eclipse in the early hours of 21st February 2008. However, knowing our British weather a change in the weather and the skies were quickly covered with thick cloud and fog blocking out the early morning eclipse.

We managed to capture this image above St Michael and All Angels church as the moon started to be put into shadow at 1.50am. A few moments later the sky was completely obscured by cloud ant the rest of the totality was missed.

If you wonder what the totality would have looked like, we only have to be reminded what the last eclipse was like in March 2007. Click here
