New Year's Eve Lunar Eclipse | International Year of Astronomy in Ireland | Astronomy 2009

New Year's Eve Lunar Eclipse

2009-12-31-lunar-eclipse1

In the last day of the International Year of Astronomy (early evening of 31 December 2009), the Moon had the smallest partial eclipse that we have seen in Ireland and the UK for 40 years: the Moon was 8% covered by the Earth's shadow.  Incidentally, this was also a "Blue Moon" - the name given for the second full Moon within a calendar month. 

This photo was taken at 7.30 pm, a bit after the eclipse's maximum phase, from my backyard in Armagh.

Have you got your pictures of the eclipse? If you would like to share them  please send them to us.

Happy New Year!
