The Lunar Eclipse

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/longest-lunar-eclipse-for-a-decade-for-south-australia-stargazers/story-fn7x8me2-1226075835237
<snip>
A LUNAR eclipse is under way, turning the morning Melbourne sky a stunning blood red colour.

The specific phenomenon, known as a deep lunar eclipse, often exudes a coppery colour but it has been enhanced today because of the amount of ash in the atmosphere.

The peak of the eclipse was expected at 6.12am.

But a late cloud cover obscured the view for keen moon-watchers.

The eclipse began at 3.25am (AEST) and entered its darkest phase or ‘totality’ at 5.22am when the transformation to a blood-red moon began.
