First total lunar eclipse in years
From Times Wire Reports
The moon darkened, reddened, and turned shades of gray and orange during the first total lunar eclipse in nearly three years, thrilling stargazers and astronomers around the world.
The Earth’s shadow took over six hours to crawl across the moon’s surface, eating it into a crescent shape before engulfing it completely in a spectacle at least partly visible on every continent. The moon began moving out of Earth’s shadow just after 5 p.m. PST. The eclipse ended a little more than an hour later.
