Total Lunar Eclipse Coincides With Winter Solstice


This is a coincidence that hasn't happened for almost 400 years, and it won't happen again until almost 100 years from now.

I'm afraid my photo skills were stretched to their limit in the dark at around minus 10. Using a remote, a torch, eyes streaming, glasses on and off, tripod wobbling, hands freezing, steaming up the view finder etc. etc.

Notice what I think must be an aeroplane top left?

  3. I watched this going to work, and guess what, the cloud came over just as we got there 7:21 so missed the crucial moment at 8:41
