~Total lunar Eclipse~
Even without my own camera yestarday i was able to make this shot using my telescope and my father's camera.
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. Thus the Moon becomes increasingly dark and at the climax of the eclipse it may become even red. For the phenomenon was so weird the ancients (mis)interpreted it as a sign of the "End of the world".
Here i was at the astronomical observatory near Siligo, in the Italian island of Sardinia, where over 200 people were lifting their faces up to the night sky.

A cool shot, but I think it'd be more effective in color. 
It'd be really cool to see a solar eclipse.
