Eclipse of the Moon

Tonight the Moon disappeared into the shadow of the Earth.... I decided that it would be cool to see if but even cooler if I actually got a few photos, and I did.. yay!

The Moon rises...

At totality the Moon turns a deep red due to light being refracted around the Earth's atmosphere.. coooool!

This is due to refractor of light from the Sun in the Earth's atmosphere.

As the eclipse ends the Moon shows its true power again..
