lunar eclipse


yesterday i joined an astronomers group to portray a penumbra lunar eclipse. it was a tiring day but luckily i was accompanied. the eclipse started from 1.24 untill 5.44. It's a coincidence also that the eclipse happened on August 17, our independence day.

How did the moon looks like?
very beautiful, because the sky was clear enough that day. even tho it was a bit cloudy, the clouds didn't block our view.
the earth's shadow that fell on moon surface made the moon became red. absolutely gorgeous.

The most beautiful part was..
half lunar eclipse that made the moon's color looked like our flag, red and white.
