About 98% Partial Lunar Eclipse
On November 19, did you look up at the night sky? A lot of people were pointing their cameras at the sky. The picture below was taken by me with a single-lens reflex camera at that time.
On that day, about 98% of the moon hide in the shadow of the earth, a partial lunar eclipse was observed nationwide. In the lunar eclipse, there are "to-move lunar eclipse" where all, the moon is hidden, and a partial lunar eclipse. According to National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, this time it was a partial lunar eclipse of "almost complete" lunar eclipse where 97.8% of the diameter of the moon enters the shadows. Therefore, it was said that the moon could look red-black like a total lunar eclipse. It was on September 15, 1932 that a partial lunar eclipse with a maximum eclipse of 97.8% or more could be observed all over Japan. The next one is November 21, 2086, 65 years later.
I didn't know. What a beautiful picture! If I were a good poet, I would come up with a nice haiku. I'm really happy only to see natural beauty.
