Oh my goodness! Love a good eclipse. We missed out on this Solstice one in Utah because the weather was too nasty. My kids I are going to try to watch the next full solar eclipse that hits our area in 2045 (maybe with their own kids by then). Praying the weather won’t be bad…
Twas a lunar clipse… The primary solar eclipse of 2010 took place over Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and was the first one in 1,419 years. Here’s some video we took.
Cool shots you got there! But its a Lunar eclipse buddy! a Solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and us on the earth blocking out the light of the sun.
A lunar eclipse happenes when the moon passes into the earths shadow thats cast upon it by the sun causing it to look red! essentially the earth passes between the sun and the moon.
Matt,
I’m sure you meant to say — “full LUNAR eclipse on the winter solstice” — as per the link.

I think you mean lunar eclipse. Beautiful shots either way!
That’s a lunar eclipse, not a solar eclipse.
Beautiful!
Correction: lunar eclipse, not solar eclipse. (To someone on the Moon it would be a solar eclipse.)
Matt, hate to nitpick, but don’t you mean “lunar” eclipse? 🙂

that is so cool! 😀
No offense Matt, I thought this was a lunar eclipse?
Great pics, though! It was cloudy here in the Great Lakes region.
Thanks for sharing!
Solar eclipse? That looks an awful lot like the moon to me…
This is a Lunar eclipse.

It’s lunar eclipse, not solar. 🙂
