Posted by in Today's Image | October 10, 2014

We saw many photos of the October 8 moon during the total lunar eclipse. Here’s one from India, where the eclipse was less easily visible.

Our friend Abhinav Singhai captured this moonrise (Hunters Moon) time lapse over the Lotus Temple in Delhi, India. It was October 8, 2014, the night of the total lunar eclipse. Abhinav wrote:

Penumbral lunar eclipse was visible from Delhi at the time of moonrise, and visible in the first picture as well (slight shadow).

Thank you, Abhinav!
