皆既月食 Lunar Eclipse on 8 October Wednesday !

Hi everyone, Did you watch the lunar eclipse on Wednesday ? Our students and Thomas enjoyed watching it during the lesson. The colour of the moon changed to copper red from yellow. Then it became a beautiful gray. It was a beautiful gray planet. The wonderful moment made us feel how great nature is .
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra( shadow). They can occur when only the Sun, the Earth and the Moon are aligned ( in syzygy) or very closely with the Earth in the middle. Therefore a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon.
