Blood or Pashcal Moon



Total Lunar Eclipse 4/15/14
One of four Blood Moons in the next 18 months
Just a little over half way through


Almost Complete
Full Moon 4:35
The total lunar eclipse lasted about 78 minutes.(starting about 2:10) The other three images were taken between 3:30 and 4:14. The sight from beginning to end was such a beautiful experience, and I was glad I had made the decision to become part of this magical, mystical occurrence. In the night sky the Moon, Mars and Spica formed a triangle that was very bright and visibly noticeable. Spica is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. This Moon or( Pashcal) is significant because it is used to determine what date Easter will fall on each year. This is why Easter is a movable holiday, occurring anywhere from late March to late April.
