Longest lunar eclipse of the century Tonight, will update pictures as it happens

in science •  6 years ago  (edited)

The sky is crystal clear, the night is going to be cold, so this promises to be a great opportunity to photograph the blood moon of the century.

I'm all set and will post updated pictures as the eclipse unfolds.

Sorry for those in the US, no eclipse for you, but for the rest of us, on the other side of the world, this looks like its going to be a good one.

We are expecting totality for 1 hour and 43 minutes when the moon will be fully engulfed in Earth’s shadow.

The moon has just risen, is still a bit hazy, due to the closeness to the horizon but its looking beautiful.

Tonight between 00.30 am to 03.30 am make sure off HP, laptop and others and keep it away from your body. TV Singapore has announced the news. Please tell your family and friends. Tonight between 00.30 am and 3:30 am our earth will face the highest radiation.

Cosmic light rays will cross close to the earth. So off HP and others and keep it away from your body because it will cause us to get dangerous radiation effect.

May see on Google and NASA and BBC news. Share this message with others who are important to your family, friends, friends, and also your wife and children. You can save the lives of many people by doing so ...

May be useful. Amiin ... "

Wow, really amazing. What kind of equipment did you use for these shots?
I tried to do it with a tamron 70-200 but the results were not very good.

Me encantaria estar ahi!
