Tonight Friday the the 27th July 2018 we had the possibility of witnessing live a pretty rare event. A full blood Moon being eclipsed by the Earth. The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century.
Needless to say this is not everyone's cup of tea but I am a little bit of a lunatic in the best sense of the word.
So what's the problem?
Sod's Law. if something can go wrong...it will.
Last night I set up my camera and shot the Moon just to make sure I had all the settings correct. The above video is from last night and the Moon looks pretty bloody.
Today after weeks of blistering heat in the UK. The heavens opened and poured torrential rain all afternoon and long into the evening. Cloud cover was 100% so I couldn't even see the Moon let alone film it while dodging the lightning. Which may have been funny to film?
I also went out in the daytime to take some photos and even the sunflowers weren't playing ball as they were all facing in the wrong direction...for me!
Well what do you do when it all goes wrong? Keep calm and watch the eclipse on NASA TV.
That's all folks. Have a great weekend. Better luck next century! :)
