Red Moon Rising

A red moon is seen over Sydney town tonight during the total lunar eclipse. It started just a little before 7pm with the bottom half (as seen from where I am) of the moon moving into the Earth's shadow.


Over the next hour or so, more of the moon starts to disappear and slowly turns reddish.



Until only a sliver of silvery white is left before it is completely within the Earth's shadow.



Here's another shot of it during the total eclipse of the moon.
