On Saturday New Zealanders with clear skies witnessed a lunar eclipse – when the earth got in the way of the sun’s light hitting the moon.

Took this shot of the lunar eclipse at about 11.50pm, in a very short break in the clouds

This photo was on a longer exposure so you can see the other side of the moon a little clearer, the clouds were a bit of a factor in this shot though.  Uploaded by: Kat Cooper

The beginning of Saturday night’s eclipse, “we had a thick layer of fog here, it cleared enough so that I managed to get this shot but not alot else”.  Uploaded by: Kelli Culver
