A sequence of images from the 28 August 2007 lunar eclipse from Swifts Creek, Victoria, Australia. Each image was taken at about a three-minute interval except the last image in the sequence which shows what the moon looked like at about the middle of the eclipse. The majority of the Americas observed an abbreviated eclipse, with moonset occurring at some time during the eclipse. Siberia, far eastern Russia, eastern South Asia, China, the rest of eastern and southeastern Asia, New Guinea, and the rest of Australia missed out on the beginning of the eclipse, because the eclipse occurred at or close to moonrise in those regions. The Philippines, particularly Metro Manila, missed the rare eclipse entirely, due to clouds from the rainy season.Photo credit: Fir0002
