according to NASA and time and date.com, last night (9th Feb 2009) from 8.39p.m till 12.39 midnight occured a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse and it's visible within our East Asian region. (thanks to Dian for the info)
the fact that it will be the deepest penumbral eclipse in year 2009 with magnitude of 0.899 (what do i care what that means???) therefore i went outside around 10.30pm last night, the estimated time when the eclipse reaches it's peak.


can i see the dusky shading at half of the moon? to be honest, i'm not sure what i saw...but it was a great view last night with clear skies.


me, hafiz, his cousin DD and her mom, usu maytha (confused now eh? hehe)were all 'lepak'ing and watching the moon sambil makan kuaci...so layannnn!!

for a clearer view i steal a picture from Hafiz's camera...because my lens is not so tele la..only 55mm max...kitlens only maaa..hehe

after an hour lying on the ground watching the beautiful moon..i started doing few stunts...


looks like i almost land my two feet on the moon...and then try to do a bit bokeh...


before i start to do some more weird pics and shoot my other body parts instead of my legs...i better stop and pack everything since it was already 12midnight (no, i dont turn into a werewolf)....
and back i went inside to do more research and googling of what a penumbra lunar eclipse looks like exactly? but still up to now i don't get a clear idea of how it should look like..hmmmmm...or maybe i'm just dumb...
