I saw the full moon last night but slept through this mornings partial lunar eclipse. Did you see it?
Solar eclipses are always accompanied by lunar eclipses, either two weeks before or two weeks after. At maximum eclipse, approximately one-third of the moon’s face was covered by Earth’s dark umbral shadow. At that time the moon was overhead for observers in the South Pacific. The next total lunar eclipse easily visible for all of North America will occur on the night of April 14-15, 2014.
Check what time you’ll be able to see Tuesday’s Venus Transit. I won’t be sleeping through that and hope to take lots of photos.

I didn’t even know there WAS a lunar eclipse! Oh yeah, I was sleeping too! LOL!
Superb photos, Gaelyn. Didn’t see it…too !@#$ overcast…
I did order a flat piece of #14 welder’s glass that they say is good for solar eclipses…cheaper than a real filter and I probably won’t use it much.
I had forgotten about it last night. Didn’t even know we could see it. I love how the moon turns that red shade at the end of the cycle. Well I hope you are having a nice lovely day. I’m sitting in the airport right now in Phoenix. This city is yucky! Tucson 100%
Beautiful.
I also was up photographing the full moon. Thanks for sharing the info charts.
Yep, I was sleeping, too, but it was also raining here so it wouldn’t have helped if I’d stayed up!! But, hey! I love your full moon and there’s always the next time — even if it isn’t until 2014!! Hope you’re having a great week, Gaelyn!

Hey Gaelyn, I wanted to mention that for ad blocking, Ad Block Plus is pretty great, and also free.
I didn’t know about the eclipse. I think it was eclipsed by solar events.
Love your multiple progressive photo. How die I miss this??? I’m really bummed. But I’ll be looking for the Venus transit tomorrow. Still confused about the time, but guess it must be around sunset.
Sorry that you slept through it all but the NASA photo is very impressive. Diane
No such luck down here by us. I need to go and have a look when we will have one again.
Beautiful photos! It was too overcast on my end to see anything unfortunately.
I totally missed the lunar eclipse, and I never realized that lunar and solar eclipses always came close together.
Must try to see the Venus transit. Thanks for the reminder.
Great images, I didn’t know about this. I like the presentation, I need to learn to stack images.
