SkyWatch Friday: lunar eclipse

Here's what I saw of the lunar eclipse that occurred on the Saturday, the 16th of August, from Hania, Crete, Greece. I could see a shadow of the sun below the moon (second photo) which did not come out too well in the second photo. The first photo shows a zoom-in on the eclipse.

  2. Nice one for SWF! In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then beleive them to be true. Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Happy SWF!

  13. I am so pleased that you were able to see the lunar eclipse-we were not so fortunate here in the U.S.
    Watching the moon rise from our balcony is a true bonus of the Cretan summers. It is always a rather humbling experience and helps one keep things in perspective.
