moon eclipse June 15, 2011, to your photos!

A new moon eclipse will take place Wednesday, June 15, 2011. An appointment not to be missed for any lover of astronomy. A spectacle visible from Europe, Africa and Asia and partly in eastern South America.

If you live in France, it will have a clear horizon Southeast because our natural satellite will rise almost at the same time as the sunset to just after 22:00. The eclipse will have already started

The moon will be hidden by the Earth for nearly 1:40, it will be visible through the refraction of the atmosphere, giving this beautiful copper color. The more you find in the South, the Moon will appear more in height.

Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are not dangerous for direct observation, so you can admire the spectacle with the naked eye, without necessary protection, also with a pair of binoculars, a telescope or astronomical telescope.

If there astro-photographers among you (even beginners), do not hesitate to send us your photos, we will post it on the site. Because the moon will be just above the horizon, there is something beautiful to take pictures of it beside a landscape, an urban skyline, a building etc. ..
