Photos: Last night’s lunar eclipse

Did you catch the lunar eclipse last night? I stepped out of my house around 11pm and it was in full effect!

The photos here are courtesy of SFGate; they’re from around the world. Visit their photo gallery to see more spectacular shots.

If you did miss it last night, you’ll have to survive until Dec. 21, 2094 to see the next one. Did you shoot any pics of the eclipse? Let me know by leaving a comment, I’d love to share them with readers.

This combination of pictures shows the moon during a circle of a total eclipse as seen from Silver Spring, Maryland, on December 21, 2010. This eclipse takes place just hours before the December solstice, which marks the beginning of northern winter and southern summer.
