Lunar Eclipse / Blood Moon in NZ and Aussie

Recommended Posts

Apparently New Zealand was one of the best spots to see the latest lunar eclipse.

The lunar eclipse - dubbed the Blood Moon for its reddish colour - occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow.

The sun, Earth and moon need to be closely aligned for it to happen - with the Earth in the middle - and it has to be a full moon.

 

I couldn't see anything from my location, was all cloudy but others managed to snap some great photos. These were taken with a telescope....
