Beautiful Photos Of The Partial Lunar Eclipse Over London

On Tuesday night, eyes turned to the sky as a partial lunar eclipse took place above London. Luckily, it was a clear enough night to get a decent view of the Earth's shadow eclipsing the moon, and London's photographers were out in force to capture it.

And if you didn't whip your camera out in time? Don't worry, there's a full lunar eclipse on the way... in May 2022.

Last night’s lunar eclipse, captured over the rooftop of the Royal Courts of Justices From Lincoln Square Gardens by @lodha_uk. Not sure what or who the statue is of a robed man wielding a lump of kerb but it made for an interesting juxtaposition with the rising moon. #lunareclipse #london #Londonthroughmycam #instagram #photooftheday #Moodygrams #Photosofengland #London4All #Bestcitybreaks #londonforyou #BBCTravel #BeautifulDestinations #Europe #visitlondon #LondonIsOpen #Mylondon #timeoutlondon #LondoncityWorld #Photosofbritain #ThisIsLondon @wonderfuldestinations_ @londoncityworld @travellingthroughtheworld @its_so_london @visitlondon @london

Last nights partial #LunarEclipse hovering fashionably late above Canary Wharf 🌓Unfortunately it didn’t show up until just above the towers which isn’t uncommon but I was counting on a horizon appearance, oh well 🤷🏼‍♂️ Viewpoint location🙌🏻➡️🏙: #VantagePoint , a residential tower in Archway by @essentiallivinghomes , one of my favourite London clients who builds developments for rent but they always dedicate the rooftop or even top two floors as residents amenities space instead of just a penthouse for the rich, so every resident can enjoy the view☺️👍🏻Shot on the Nikon Z6 + vintage Nikkor Ai-S 180mm f2.8 🔭📸

What a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo launch. Partial lunar eclipse during Moonrise. Safe to say the evening was epic.

We have just had a partial lunar eclipse and it is also a special full moon today called Guru Purnima. Mercury is still retrograde - and Venus and the Sun are still with the eclipses today. The eclipse moon was very impressive over London on a clear summers night! #🌕 #fullmoon #londonmoon #eclipse #eclipseoverlondon #summereclipse #julyeclipse2019 #londonsky #londonnightsky #gurupurnima #gurupurnimamoon #eclipseseason #solareclipse #moonchild
