The total lunar eclipse today, October 8, watched the inhabitants of Siberia and the Far East.

The moon has changed its color from pale yellow to dark red shades. Once in ancient times, people called it “bloody moon.”
At Mount Eagle gathered as bystanders and people who regularly monitor such phenomena.
– The uniqueness of this eclipse is that in line lined the Sun, Earth and Moon. At the same time the moon enters the Earth’s shadow, but also covers a moon and the planet Uranus, which is also lined up on the line. This happens very rarely, but we could not watch it here, because we were still very light, – the amateur astronomer Alexander Snetkov.
This is a lunar eclipse today can observe not only the residents of the Russian Far East, it can also be seen in Siberia, the United States, Canada and Australia. The total phase of the eclipse lasts about an hour, and then the shadow of the Earth is gradually coming from the moon, and our natural satellite acquires the usual color.
