A total lunar eclipse took place on December 10, 2011. It was the second of two total lunar eclipses in 2011, the first having occurred on June 15. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned just right in its orbit to pass through Earth's shadow.

It was a bit cold (15 degrees) and I was learning about my camera (Canon Powershot SX30) so the eclipsed photo is kind of blurry. Hope you enjoy!
