Total Lunar Eclipse Montage. Credit: Raven Yu
This is a composite image generated from several photos of the Moon captured by Raven Yu of the Philippines during the different stages of the total lunar eclipse which took place on June 16, 2011.
“It was a relatively rare opportunity to observe a Total Eclipse of the Moon — not to mention that the duration of totality of this eclipse will be one of the longest in 100 years (totality lasted for 100 minutes, from 3:22 am until around 5:02 am PHT).
Totality ended at 5:02 AM. Unfortunately, the fifth contact (end of the partial eclipse) and sixth contact (end of the penumbral eclipse) could not be observed from the Philippines since the moonset was at 5:30 AM.”
