The moon darkened, reddened, and turned
shades of gray and orange during the
first total lunar eclipse in nearly three years, thrilling
stargazers and astronomers around the world. (3rd March
2007)
The Earth's shadow took over six hours to crawl across
the moon's surface, eating it into a crescent shape
before engulfing it completely in a spectacle at least
partly visible on every continent.

night and placed them here for all to witness. The

the right image was taken at 11.05pm. Another Lunar
