Flickr users document lunar eclipse


Some gorgeous photos of the eclipse this week are showing up on photo-sharing sites. Many are straight from the camera, while others have been manipulated to show off certain aspects of the moon or the passage of time. The one above was posted by Scribner on Flickr. Here are links to some of my other favorites from that site:

(C)lint shows the moon reflecting normal sunlight on one side and sunlight that was bent as it passed through Earth's atmosphere on the other.

Many users made composites of the eclipse. My favorite of these is by Peter Heinzen.

Blazczak captured the constellation Leo with the eclipse, got a great shot of totality, and has an amazing collection of other photos worth checking out.

Finally, there's a nice close-up by Yani Ioannou. In his Eclipse Set, he also shows the camera/telescope setup he used to get his photos.
