Top Stories This Week - February 27, 2008
 
Last week's lunar eclipse was a beauty, and The Leader's Patrick Keller was on the job with his trusty Pentax digital to capture the drama of the moon gradually disappearing into the shadow of the earth. Sky gazers were treated to a rare sight: The only total lunar eclipse of 2008, visible from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia. A partial eclipse occurs only twice a year, and a total eclipse more rarely than that. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon travels completely into the Earth's umbral shadow (the area that receives no solar radiation). The next total eclipse of the moon will occur on Dec. 21, 2010.
