Only two weeks after the Partial Solar Eclipse comes a Partial Lunar Eclipse! Nice! This one was also much easier to see, and I enjoyed it more than the solar one. Maybe because this time you could actually see the change.
It was a partial eclipse, and at the height of the eclipse 81% of the moon was covered by the earth's shadow. I tried to take pictures of it with the camera on my cell phone, but the pictures didn't turn out good at all. So I made my friend Ivar in Gothenburg go outside and take pictures of the moon with his camera (which is slightly better than the one on my phone).
I would still like to see both a total lunar and a total solar eclipse though. Maybe I shouldn't really be counting these two as completed, until I've seen total eclipses. Ah well, if I ever do, I'll promise to blog about it. :)

I think you'll have to travel far to see these total eclipses. But it would be so cool! I want to travel like this once as well :D
Wow, SO beautiful!!
@Danny: Yeah, next total solar eclipse in Sweden is in like... year 2100 or something :P So I'd have to go to Asia or America to see one. Total lunar eclipses happen quite often though!
@Kat: I know! :D Did you see it live?
Haha, see you 2morrow Dan ^^
What's next, Daniel??
Hey, I've seen a total lunar eclipse, but I'll have to wait a long while or travel to see a total solar eclipse.
