People across Belgium responded to the VRT’s appeal to send in photos of the lunar eclipse. Cloud cover obstructed the view in many places, but eventually the blood moon appeared on the horizon. Here is a selection of the photos that were sent in here.
The lunar eclipse began at 5:28 p.m. but was not visible at first. Sunset and the peak of the eclipse coincided at 8:12 p.m. Until 8:54 p.m., we experienced a total eclipse, with no direct sunlight on the moon. The eclipse ended at 10:57 p.m.
The blood moon, which was predicted to be particularly red, was actually a rather light red due to the weather conditions.
