partial Lunar eclipse today?

[Urwumpe]

Can it be we have a partial lunar eclipse over Germany currently? The moon looks really strange here, not like a cloud covering it.

Well we have one here in Sweden... Considering Germany isn't THAT far away, I'd say it's most likley a lunar eclipse

Half a month after the Solar Eclipse, I wouldn't be surprised. Shame it's overcast here.

Last eclipse of the year. Too bad we can't see it around here.
(although it's overcast so it wouldn't matter much)

I'm just returned from an observation...
I've seen it all, it started at 21:30 and finished around 00:30.
One of the most beautiful eclipses I've ever seen.

People, you're very lucky. We had here thick clouds all yesterday evening .
Same bad weather we had on last Moon eclipse.
Taking into account local climate, it was very surprising that on 1st August it was sunny.

Saw that one perfectly! It's a shame it wasn't a full eclipse, just partial. The weather was beatifully clear and the fog that dwelled between trees made the scene looking ghostly!
