Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse










I was not happy when I walked out at 7.30 pm to see nothing but clouds. I knew it was at it's peak at 10.30 so I had time, but I was not hopeful. When the whole world got the aurora, Sydney was covered in cloud so did not. THe Universe does like to mess with me on such things....

However, come bedtime, there it was.

"It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the moon." —Galileo Galilei

I messed around with my camera but it would not focus the darker the moon got. And so, I was stuck using my phone. It also couldn't pick up the colour.




I do quite like this one - as if it's falling...or bouncing...Ha!















There was a bright star nearby - I'm guessing a planet? Mars maybe? Too small for the phone to pick up.

Aren't we lucky that something so beautiful and fascinating is free to us every single night?

“When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands".  Mahatma Gandhi
