WEYBURN – Clear skies over Weyburn allowed sky-watchers to view the full lunar eclipse on Sunday evening, as the full Flower Moon crept into the much larger earth’s shadow.
The entire event lasted about three and a half hours, with the moon going into full shadow shortly after 10 p.m.
The variation from one eclipse to another depends on how transparent or lack of our atmosphere is.
The coloured lunar surface is the result of sunlight refracting or passing through the earth’s atmosphere, much like seeing a red sunset.
