Lunar Eclipse today

total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray.

An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped parts, one nested inside the other. The outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth blocks some (but not all) of the Sun's rays. In contrast, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.

tidak sabar rasanya aku hendak beli DSLR.. untuk
menangkap gambar gerhana..
setakat tengok dengan mata dan tidak dapat aku cerita pada cucu cicit aku
adalah satu perkara yang sia-sia.. mungkin mereka kata aku buat cerita dongeng..
iya lah.. tanpa bukti .. mana tahu zaman cucu-cucu kita
mereka memerlukan fakta dengan gambar...
akan aku tangkap gambar aku sedang mendongak ke gerhana
tarikh gerhana aku sudah target
hari ini aku tidak dapat tengok..
tidak mengapa.. 16 ogos nanti.. aku mahu menangkap gambar gerhana itu

ini jadual gerhana untuk tahun 2007 hingga 2012
