The Lunar Eclipse in Hervey Bay
Here on the east coast of Australia we’ve just experienced our second lunar eclipse of the year. For those who weren’t able to get out and see it the Hervey Bay Gossip humbly offers these photos shot from our backyard in Kawungan.
For the hour or so leading up to the time the eclipse began there was quite a bit of cloud around and at times it looked as though the clouds were going to get in the way of the spectacle.
Fortunately by the time the eclipse began the amount of cloud around the moon had begun to diminish. When this photo was taken the eclipse was well under way and the cloud had all but gone.
This final photo was taken when the Earth’s shadow had all but covered the Moon. The eerie red tinge that so many had hoped to see was definitely there.
