See it! Photos of April 25-26 lunar eclipse

It was the third-shortest partial lunar eclipse of this century, only 27 minutes long. And North America could not see any part of it. But today’s eclipse – April 25, 2013 – was visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The photos are beginning to come in, and they are beautiful.
