Lunar eclipse
« Reply #21 on: 05/03/2007 23:20:32 »
It wouldn't look as different as a Solar Eclipse looks..
From the apparent 'lighter bit' at the top during the approach to totality I suggest that the Moon must have been near the top of the Earth's shadow (umbra) so the 'top' bit of the Moon was near the penumbra. I am sure I've seen a more complete eclipse in the distant past. Or was it just rosy tinted spectacles?
Btw, I was driving eastwards when the Moon was rising  on that day and it looked absolutely HUGE near the  eastern horizon at about 6pm.
