Lunar Eclipse - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 21st Feb 08 at 3:58am
Did any of you happen to see the lunar eclipse this evening?

I was planning on it, but completely forgot. I didn't remember until about 10:30, which was just under an hour after it had passed. {Sad}

Also, if you have pictures, please post them. {Smile}

I know what you mean. I took a picture of it with my phone last year, and it just came out as a red light surrounded by black. {Tongue Out}

I got a picture but it turned out horrible on my fone and my camera wouldn't pick it up for some reason.

Re: Lunar Eclipse - Posted By Jake (jake) on 22nd Feb 08 at 11:04pm
My father told me about it, but I didn't bother going out to see, I forgot about it, I wish I would have because some say it looked the best here.

We had two or three last year, if I remember correctly; but this one was fairly rare because it could be seen by over half the world.

I'm sure there will be another lunar eclipse some time this year; not sure how many people will be able to see it, though.

It was okay, nothing special though lol.

Re: Lunar Eclipse - Posted By ajay (ajay) on 24th Feb 08 at 10:52pm
The time before this was a lot better than this one, I can tell you that for sure.

Re: Lunar Eclipse - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 25th Feb 08 at 12:45am

Usually, but sometimes it may be a slightly different colour, or you see a bright ring around the edge, things like that. Also, this one could be seen by a much larger audience than most. {Wink}
