Lunar eclipse captured on camera across Greater Victoria - The Interior News - Smithers BC
The eclipse covered 96.3% of the moon and gave it a coppery hue, according to timeanddate.com and NASA.
- On Thursday, Aug. 28, a partial lunar eclipse rose over Greater Victoria, drawing residents and photographers to the Songhees Walkway and West Bay Walkway to capture the event.
- Known as a "very deep" partial eclipse, the event occurred as Earth blocked sunlight; ultimately, 96.3 per cent of the moon slipped into Earth's central shadow, the umbra.
- Local photographers including Kimana Jarzebiak and Megan Trudeau captured the eclipse, while Tom Kirstein used his "cheapo" Nikon to document the final phase from Marine Drive.
- Astrological commentary characterizes the so-called "blood moon" as an "energetic cleanser" that brings hidden truths to the surface, while reports suggest the event may cause fatigue and signal a turning point.
- As a member of Saros 13, this eclipse won't be seen again for nearly two decades. Timeanddate notes just 12 per cent of the world's population witnessed the event from start to finish.
