Grazing the Umbra (Partial lunar eclipse 2009)
ayiomamitis
by Anthony Ayiomamitis We were very fortunate to have relatively very good conditions for last night's partial lunar eclipse and which was a great way to end the year, the decade as well as IYA 2009. Although the depth was only 8%, the moon's partial entry into the umbral shadow was quite...

Partial lunar eclipse sequence.
Elias C
by Elias Chasiotis Markopoulo, Greece I send you a composition image of the partial lunar eclipse of New Year's eve. Only a small part of the full moon was covered by the earth's umbra, but still the eclipse was very beautiful. The whole phenomenon lasted 4 hours, but the penumbral phases...

Partial Penumbral Eclipse
ayiomamitis
by Anthony Ayiomamitis This is a little project I have had on my mind for some time and which has failed on the previous two occasions due to the weather. Fortunately for me, last evening we had pristine transparency. Partial penumbral eclipses are generally ignored since they are considered as ho...

Partial Penumbral Eclipse - Part II
ayiomamitis
Anthony Ayiomamitis A revisit to my partial penumbral eclipse images from Aug 6/2009 finally yielded a further interesting result. The application of a non-linear curves adjustment in Photoshop helped highlight the very subtle difference in the brightness of the moon during "maximum" as compared...

A spectacular view in the sky was created on 10 December 2011 which stopped onlookers as the moon started getting eclipsed and then turned red. As moon came back to its original state and color, the same events were repeated, but in reverse order . In comparison to a Solar Eclipse, a Lunar Eclipse can...
