10 Lunar Eclipse 2019 Photos Of The Super Wolf Blood Moon

January 21 2019

The sky show last night did not disappoint. The lunar eclipse on January 20 2019 was the only total eclipse of the moon. This was a super moon, meaning it was closer to Earth and larger than normal. The name Wolf Moon is giving to the full moon in January.

The weather was very cold with temperatures sliding through the teens and single digits and wind chills below zero. Many were Abel to watch from through a window from the warmth of their homes. Some braved the cold and wind on their tripods to get great photos I want to share here. This collection takes us through the phases and submitted from people locally and around the country.

Photographers have been credited with a name stamp in each image.

5. Turning Red/Blood Orange

The red color shows up when the shadow is more than halfway across the surface of the moon. The blood red color is from light passing through Earth’s atmosphere and bending around the other side. So the moon is not completely dark.

James Willinghan shared this message with his photo:

“So that was fun. Spent four hours outside with one ten minute break to warm my hands. Have a lot of pictures to go through over the next few days (took a total of 744 pictures), but here is a quick one that was around mid-point through totality. I used my six inch SCT with a focal reducer and a Canon Rebel XSI camera.”

Great work everyone! Thank you for sharing. I am sure we will see more photos during the day as other photographers wake up and sort through their collection.
