Lunar eclipse took place on on 15th April 2014
It is the former of two total lunar eclipses in 2014, and the first in four total lunar eclipses in series.The full moon passes through Earth’s amber shadow, producing a full lunar eclipse.
Parts of the world saw a rare celestial event on Tuesday when the Earth’s shadow fell across the moon, turning it orange. The total lunar eclipse unfolded over three hours when the moon began moving into Earth’s shadow. The moon doesn’t disappear completely but the Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reflecting off the Moon’s surface and instead the light passes through the Earth’s atmosphere, turning it orange
