June 15, 2011 The most unforgettable day of my life as I was the spectator of the Live Total Lunar Eclipse which was happening in the sky. It started at 11:52 PM. I was along with my camera to capture this rarely happening event and I think I would not get the chance to see this event again in my life as such kind of event happen only after a big gap of time. This was the darkest Lunar Eclipse of the century and clearly visible through naked eyes and that's why I was able to capture this beautiful event in my camera. It was looking like earth is taking the moon under the shadow. The pictures which I captured are shown below the all romancing act of the two astronomical objects in the sky. The whole event had been going since 11:52 PM to 4:00AM aboout 4 hours. The below picture was taken at 11:47 PM , 15-06-2011, just before the Lunar Eclipse start ascending.

Before show the picture of Lunar Eclipse I would like to explain the process of Lunar Eclipse. As we all know that Earth is revolve around the sun and the moon revolve around the earth. Now This astronomical event happened when the sun , earth and moon come in a straight line and shadow of earth cover the moon or we can say that moon passes under the shadow of the earth which become when earth restricted the sun rays. Below pictures show the whole event of ascending of Total Lunar Eclipse.
