There was a faint lunar eclipse tonight The moon passed through the earth’s penumbral shadow, but not the umbral shadow. It rose already partially in the shadow. The moon appeared to be slightly darker on the top half for a couple of hours. It was not noticeable in the photos I took tonight, nor in the time lapse.
Our next total lunar eclipse won’t be until January 18, 2018, but it will set while at full eclipse. The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible from beginning to end for us won’t happen until January 21, 2019. On the plus side, we will have a total solar eclipse on the afternoon of August 21st of this year. The last total solar eclipse to occur in Franklin was on July 20, 1506 and the next one will be on October 17, 2153. More details on that event are at the end of this article.
