Total Lunar Eclipse Visible in Israel

Lunar Eclipse Jerusalem Israel
A Total Lunar Eclipse will be visible in Israel (and adjacent areas) tonight. The full eclipse will start at around 22:20 local time and last for around 2 hours. The first photo was taken just after 2200 in Jerusalem and shows the beginning of the lunar eclipse very clearly.

 

The second photo (below) was taken around 2245 and shows the full eclipse – the red color is due to the sun’s rays being diverted by the earth’s atmosphere. Soon after this picture was taken the moon disappeared almost completely. The full eclipse is due to end after midnight.

Happy Viewing!
