    Moon and Cloudscape

    Seen from Farnham the combination of Moonlight, lamplight and a guest appearance of the planet Venus at about 45 x Degrees to the right of the Moon. Picture taken on a long exposure which sometimes causes light interference. Either that or two green ghouls in the trees to the right of the Moon!

    Lunar Eclipse.

    A “Lunar Eclipse” occurs when the Earth passes directly in front of the Sun and the Moon. The shadow appears as a dark area on the bright lunar surface and is sometimes known as a “Blood Moon” given the orange/brown shadow. This shot taken on Bembridge Down on the Isle of Wight shows a clear crescent of the Moon and shadowed outline of the rest of it. This picture was taken approximately 80 x minutes after the Eclipse had started.
