For many lucky eyes last night was a memorable occasion. A total eclipse of the moon began to form around 9:43pm and was best visible at 11:00. The duration of the total eclipse was 50 minutes. Wagner Lorenzo, from the National Meteorological Office (ONAMET) explained that lunar eclipses occur when the earth is located in between the Sun and the moon. Astronomers say that this is one of two lunar eclipses for 2008 and the next total lunar eclipse is expected on 21 December 2010.
