Lunar Eclipse March 2025

With each lunar eclipse , the Moon dresses itself in a different robe. This time it went from pinkish, reddish, purplish – almost like a plum and what a delicacy for any worm!
I will remember this Lunar Eclipse Slooh Star Party as one of the best. The presenters were awesome, the work produced by students for the Lunar Legends competition was outstanding and some so moving, that I had to wipe a few tears.
Of course I had to do the Quest!
(In South Africa the March Fullmoon is known as the Harvest Moon)

Will you come? Will you come?
Will you ride so late at my side?
O, will you come?

Will you come? Will you come?
If the night has a moon, full and bright?
O, will you come?

-Edward Thomas-

During a penumbral eclipse the darkening of the Moon as it drifts into the Earths penumbral shadow is so slight that most of the times I don’t go to the trouble of taking images. However I was not going to miss a live show on Slooh.

I used my images taken through Slooh’s Canary Two telescope for the animation.
Slooh granted me permission to use their Home Page layout as a backdrop.
