Eclipsed moon from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich
Hi all,
Another sensational day for me...although couldn't see today's total lunar eclipse from home in Australia, I managed to catch the last few minutes of it as the moon rose at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. I had spent the day exploring and discovering the history of Greenwich and the Royal Observatory there, and then managed to photograph the rising eclipsed moon while I stood on the Prime Meridian.
The photo shows the eclipsed moon on the right, and the green line in the sky is a thin laser light which is emitted form the observatory to show the Prime Meridian line crossing London..very clever. So, I had my right foot in the eastern hemisphere and my left foot in the western hemisphere...cool eh?
The observatory and surrounds are a must for anyone who loves astronomy.
