Lunar eclipse

Last night’s lunar eclipse was amazing. We watched it for over 2 hours. As it began, the moon was so bright there were shadows in the garden at 2am.

By the time it reached full eclipse, the moon was a rich orange/red in colour. It was so dark and cloud free that we had a clear view across the sky of the rings of stars, which make up the rest of the Milky Way galaxy, stretching out into the distance.

We only have a compact camera but it still took some great pictures of the eclipse.
