Some of the pictures from yesterday. The on and off clouds made it difficult to take photos in the Austin area, but it could be seen without a camera or telescope and it was beautiful.
I saw the last minute or two of the #lunar #eclipse.
Other than that, it was grey and cloudy #LunarEclipse I guess is also a gathsah
Here's a quick and dirty edit of one of the frames I got (the camera is still running lol)
Update: it was so quick and dirty that I didn't realize it was upside down (it's correct now lol)
Moon status: THE BLOOD MOON IS UPON US
Moon status: Hey, someone took half the moon. What the heck
Moon status: Definitely starting to look a bit darker on one side.
The eclipse doesn't officially start for another hour or so, but here's the moon, if anyone is wondering what it looks like right now lol
@JasonStiff oh wow this is quite a labour of #lunar love
awesome #moon #cookie work
Eclipse de Lune prévue vendredi matin, ici en Europe elle sera partielle (rendez-vous en septembre pour une éclipse totale). J'avais photographié 2 éclipses de Lune dans le passé, une en 2015 depuis Munich et une en 2018 depuis l'Est de la France. En 2015 j'avais passé la nuit dehors avec deux boitiers : un pour photographier avec un grand angle et un pour photographier en plan rapproché. En 2018 j'étais moins bien préparée et n'avais qu'un boitier.
"A total lunar eclipse will flush the moon red Thursday night into Friday morning across the Western Hemisphere."
@AssociatedPress reports: "The best views will be from North America and South America. Parts of Africa and Europe may catch a glimpse."
"For the second time in less than a week, a privately built U.S. spacecraft will attempt to land on the moon."
NBC News reports on the robotic lander, dubbed Athena, developed by the Texas-based company Intuitive Machines: https://flip.it/OVQ7ct
In light of the Blue Ghost landing this weekend, @AssociatedPress looks at the history of lunar landings.
"The moon is littered with wreckage from failed landings over the years. A rundown on the moon’s winners and losers."
To celebrate the launch of Intuitive machines Nova-C Lander IM-2 Athens I created 3 Mocs of the Lander in 3 different scales. 1:110/1:42/1:20
