With a solar eclipse set to take place today (and with me having to work), I figured I could share an image of the lunar eclipse from September 2015. I had gone out on that night in the hopes of capturing the view of the Earth crossing between the sun and the moon thereby transforming the moon’s color. As it happened, I captured a great image with the red moon abutting Abbot Hall but that one only came after driving all around town.
My first stop that night was Chandler Hovey Park and I found an angle at which the lunar eclipse could be viewed against the familiar scaffolding of Marblehead Light. Little did I know that the moon would offer me a few more opportunities to capture it that night.
If you have a chance around 2pm today, make sure you step outside and experience the solar eclipse. Just make sure you don’t stare directly at the sun as Massachusetts is missing out on totality.
