Total Lunar Eclipse- Click on a Thumbnail or Caption for a Larger Photo
12/21/2010
I photographed the total lunar eclipse from my front yard in Havre de Grace, MD. The event took place in the pre-dawn hours of December 21st. The partial phase started at 1:33 AM. Totality began at 2:42 AM and ended at 3:53 AM. The second partial phase ended at 5:01 AM. Visually, the moon became fairly dark during the total phase. It took on a brownish-orange color, with a brighter area along the top. It did not look as bright as it did in the photos taken during totality.
The numbers beneath each photo here indicate the time (in 24-hour Eastern Standard Time) I took the photo.
