The first lunar eclipse of 2008 was perfectly placed for observers throughout most of the Americas as well as western Europe. Panamanian saw delighted how the Moon was covered by the shadow of our planet during a full moon night on February 20, 2008. I covered this extraordinary event with my camera Sony CyberShot DSC-H1 during 1 hr. (9:09pm – 10:05pm) until the Moon got red! AWESOME!!!
The red coloring arises because sunlight reaching the Moon must pass through a long and dense layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. A reddish moon is really creppy…. COoOoOoOL!
