Beautiful phases of the total lunar eclipse on April 15, 2014 |
The recent lunar eclipse on April 15, 2014 was completely worth sacrificing sleep on a weekday evening. Dad and mom stayed up until 12:45 am watching the phases and progression of the eclipse and we took plenty of photos. Once it reached the final stage, the moon turned from its usual white/gray illumination to blood orange/red in color. It was an incredible sight to see. This is the first of a series of four total lunar eclipses set to occur over the next year. We will certainly be watching the next one on October 8, 2014. A big shout out to Mother Nature for the free show, and for making it a series (hah)!
