That lunar eclipse was not visible in my country, Romania, But I heard many hearts singing about it From America to New Zealand, As if the Earth’s shadow on the Moon Gave birth to a cosmic musical band. -Andrei Dorian Gheorghe- In exchange, I remember how the Romanian astronomical movement vibrated to the last total lunar eclipse visible in Romania (2008 February 21), the phenomenon being photographically-poetically caught by the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy (SARM) in Darkening the Moon http://www.cosmopoetry.ro/darkening-the-moon/ Best wishes, Andrei Dorian Gheorghe Comments You need JavaScript to be able to post comments You need to...
