For those of you in Australia that missed this Tuesday’s full lunar eclipse below are my series of pictures that chronicle the full lunar eclipse.  This eclipse was actually a pretty big deal here in my north Melbourne neighborhood because a number of my neighbors were sitting in their porches and yards watching the eclipse.  The kids were especially having a blast with this lunar eclipse.

The eclipse began around 6:50PM here in Victoria:

About an hour into the eclipse some clouds rolled in obscuring the view which caused a lot of my neighbors especially their kids to start groaning:

Fortunately the clouds went away and the neighborhood had a good view of the eclipse again:

It took nearly 2 hours for the entire moon to be eclipsed:

The moon went nearly completely dark during the full eclipse:

After about 30 minutes some light began to appear from the moon again:

Eventually the moon began to appear

This is what the moon looked like around 10:19PM:

Here is moon around 10:30PM:

Just after 10:30PM the eclipse was pretty much over:

The full lunar eclipse made for a fun and interesting night and my wife and I were glad to be able to experience it with the rest of the neighborhood.
