Lunar Eclipse 25th April 2013 seen from Manilva
Something strange happened to me last night. Whether it was a cosmic coincidence or something else I am grateful as whatever it was made me suddenly remember that I needed to take a picture of the moon and the stars for my blog – 100 reasons why I love living in Manilva, reason 3 The Sky at Night.
Sometimes I have a wonderful view of the Moon and Saturn from my front terrace but last night it wasn’t there so I went upstairs to my back terrace and was greeted by the sight of what looked like almost a full moon with the top left-hand corner sliced off.
Disappointed that it wasn’t a full moon I decided to NOT take a photo and went back inside!
A minute later my phone beeped with a text message so I went downstairs to see who it was from. It was from my wonderful friend Katie telling me “Lunar eclipse tonight 22.08” . I looked at my watch and it was about 22.10 so I rushed back upstairs, grabbed my camera and this is what I managed to take.

Also if anyone has any tips on how to take a better photo of the stars and moon in the sky at night I would appreciate it as you cant see all the stars in the photos that I could see with my naked eye!
