Total Lunar Eclipse - 21 December 2010

Total Lunar Eclipse - Alert:
Tomorrow (December 21) 2010 a total lunar eclipse will be visible here from Northern Norway.
The eclipse will happen early in the morning (for detailes - click on the link on the headline).
Last time a lunar eclipse could be seen here was on New Year`s Eve 2009/2010, but then only 8 % of the Moon was covered by the Earth (see the image sequence below), but this time 100% of the Moon will be covered by the earth`s shadow and the Moon will likely turn deep red due to the refraction of sunlight by the Earth`s atmosphere.
A good photo-opportunity if weather allows!
The last lunar eclipse visible from Norway was only a partial eclipse of 8% - 31 December 2009

  2. Tack Urban !

    Just nu ser det ut som om moln kommer dra in efter några kanonfina och kristallklara dagar, men jag håller tummarna för att det skall hålla i sig tills i morgon.

    Bästa fotohälsningar, Fredrik
