Total Lunar Eclipse - 3rd ' Bloon Moon' on April 4 - Shortest Eclipse of Century (+Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The total eclipse of the full moon on April 4, 2015 will last less than five minutes, making it the shortest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century.

The total lunar eclipse will be visible from western North America, eastern Asia, the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand. At North American time zones, that means the greatest eclipse happens before sunrise on April 4 – the morning of April 4, not the evening. 

From the world’s Eastern Hemisphere – eastern Asia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia – the greatest eclipse takes place after sunset April 4.

A lunar eclipse is completely safe to view, as it’s reflected sunlight off the surface of the Moon, unlike a solar eclipse, which is very dangerous to look at with your eyes without proper solar glasses or filters. 
This eclipse is also a bit unusual, as totality will only last about 5 minutes…so make sure your viewing the eclipse at that time to see it at its darkest.  http://sas.org.au/events/total-lunar-eclipse-april-4-2015

The Best Time for Moon Pics

Moonrise and Moonset are excellent times to get good Moon shots. 
The absolute best time is as the Moon is setting when the colors of the sky are rich, the surroundings are visible and the sun is rising. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/moonset-moonrise-photography.html
