*~* Lunar Eclipse *~*

On Tuesday this week the rare event occurred of a lunar eclipse/Blood Moon. Since ancient times people have ascribed mystical powers to the lunar eclipse. The Blood Moon was not visible everywhere on this planet. The people in America, Australia and Asia had the best chances to watch this event.
A friend sent me some interesting pictures of the Blood Moon. One was taken in Greece when the red moon appeared above the Acropolis in Athens (Greece) and another one of the lunar eclipse blood moon set behind the US Capitol Dome in Washington D.C.
The other pictures I cannot attribute to any location, but they are just beautiful, I think.

I did not get a glimpse of the event at my location.

Yes....We were so looking forward to it, but, alas, the clouds moved in......The almost full moon was so bright and big.....It always wakes me up...It won't let me sleep, so I get up, throw a blanket over my shoulders and go outside.....Once I have admired her great beauty sufficiently, I go back to my cozy bed and la Lune allows me to go back to sleep.
.
Thank you for posting these gorgeous images......

I had hoped to witness the spectacular eclipse, but a cloudy sky let me know "no way"....... I always wonder why the French address the moon as a female "La Lune" and the sun as a male "Le Soleil", while in German the moon is "Der Mond" - male - and the sun is "Die Sonne" - female. The English language has one article only for everything. How do the people in Norway interpret moon and sun?

I wasn't lucky either. In 2025 there is another chance!

MySeek these are lovely photos of the moon. It was cloudy here so I didn't see the moon at all. Thanks for sharing.

The moon did not show up here either, Shartaun. I was happy when I got the pictures from my friend.

By me I barely see the moon, most of the leaves fell here already. Now there is hope of seeing something. SO many trees here

When the sky is clear, I see the white moon often above the tall trees... Only that special day clouds were in the way.
