After The 1st Lunar Eclipse Of The Year, Twitter Shares Pics Of The ‘Wolf Moon’

Many have been lucky to witness the year’s first penumbral lunar eclipse, which is when the moon passes through the earth’s shadow, reports The Sun. The sun, moon, and the earth are perfectly aligned during this time.

Much of Europe has already witnessed the spectacle of the lunar eclipse, popularly called “wolf moon”. Many have taken to Twitter to post pictures of the gorgeous sight with the hashtag #LunarEclipse2020. Have a look:

This year started off with a meteor shower and the first month of 2020 continues with a penumbral lunar eclipse during the full moon, on Friday.

Froze my tits off down the bottom of the garden for half an hour to try and capture the penumbral eclipse. Hazy clouds aside, it was subtle 🙄 – on the bright side, the steady 737 Stansted traffic made it interesting! #FullMoon #lunarEclipse2020 #WolfMoon pic.twitter.com/VfmjkVFIpW
