At East Asia and Oceania, an extraordinary good conditioned total lunar eclipse was observed on Jul 16 to 17.
Because the Moon crossed almost the center of Earth's shadow, the totality reached an hour and 47 minutes,
it's a historic long-time lunar eclipse.
This picture shows you a close-up image of the totally eclipsed Moon, we could enjoy an illusory view of tanned Moon through naked eyes and binoculars.
I've provided several other impressive images of this splendid sky event on and after next page.
Please check those without forgetting !
