Almost a full moon. At the top left hand corner, you can see part of the Earth's shadow. |
Yesterday I wathced a lunar eclipse! A lunar eclipse is when the Earth's shadow is on the moon and you no longer see the moon. Here are some pictures I took of a lunar eclipse.
You can watch the lunar eclipse with the naked eye but you cannot do the same for a solar eclipse otherwise, you will go blind.
The next total lunar eclipse is October 8th, 2014.
One thing that I noticed this time is that not all parts of the USA could see the total eclipse; only the western states could.
In this picture, the moon has turned more orange and you can see the Earth's shadow better. |
Now you can barely see the moon but you can see that it's still a little bit orange. |
