KOBE, JAPAN: BLOOD MOON IN THE KOBE SKY

Here are some images of the transformation of this rare red lunar eclipse that I witnessed tonight in Kobe, Japan. It begins as the ‘blood’ begins to emerge from the bottom and slowly covers to the top. After an hour, the ‘blood’ then begins to dissipate, seemingly ‘pushed’ from the left to the right by the usual moon image that we all know. :
