Lunar Eclipse 2007

Sky watchers across the world have been enjoying the first total lunar eclipse in more than three years. The moon darkened, reddened, and turned shades of gray and orange during the total lunar eclipse. (3rd March 2007).

Picture with thanks to Andy Humm.

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.

Lyneham Village Online has captured a few images throughout the cloudless night and placed them here for all to witness. This image was taken in the mid totality, at 11.25pm. Other images click here
