A lunar eclipse, despite the clouds

Despite a cloudy evening, Quebecers have a front row seat, on the night of Sunday to Monday, to admire a total eclipse of the Moon. The phenomenon only takes place every three years, when the Moon (which must be full), the Sun and the Earth are perfectly aligned, with the Earth in the middle. For those whose view was unclouded by clouds, the highlight of the show was a majestic Ocher Moon at 11:28 p.m. Did you miss the show? See you on March 14, 2025.

Unfortunately, the skies over Montreal became overcast just at the time of the total eclipse. The Moon would have been at the top right of the image.

The spectacle was visible in the skies of other regions, however, such as here in Brasília, Brazil.
