~ Prosperity Doctor: Lunar Eclipse June 15, 2011 -

In case You Missed the June 15th Total Lunar Eclipse, I've have some photos for you.

The June 15 lunar eclipse that caught the world’s attention, was not available to us here in American. It was brief and breathtaking, adding beauty to the dark morning sky with a crimson hue. The scientists conversation was all about its rarity and its unconventionally long procession (1 hour 40 minutes in its totality phase). This view is from Jerusalem.

This has been longest total lunar eclipse since July 2000, the longest total eclipse in 11 years, with sky watchers in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Australia in prime position to witness this main event. The moon flaunted it's red hue across the sky, amazing sky watchers around the world, even in places where the cosmic event wasn't visible.

The celestial spectacle was visible this time, only from eastern Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Western Australi. At its peak, the total eclipse of the moon lasted 100 minutes. The eclipse was not visible from North America at all, but observers across a wide swath of the Eastern Hemisphere had a chance to see the lunar event. The lunar eclipse began at about 1:24 p.m. EDT (1724 GMT) and last until 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT). The eclipse's peak occurred at 4:12 p.m. EDT (2012 GMT), according to National Geographic.

Here is a phone take with an aircraft in Malaga, Spain. Total lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow through which the moon passes through. See Blood Moon: 2010 Total Lunar Eclipse Photos .

For observers in South America, western Europe and the west coast of Africa, the eclipse was visible in the evening. Sky watchers in eastern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina were also able to see the eclipse’s total phase, according to a NASA alert.

Here is a photo from Kieth Burns who won a prize from NASA for his composite of the December 10, 201 Lunar Eclipse. The next lunar eclipse is set to occur on December 20, 2011, and will not be visible from the U.S. either. The next visible lunar eclipse visible from the U.S. is staged for April 15, 2014.
