A Lunar Eclipse occurred on the night of the 27th-28th August. I was on the Seven Ocean in Brazil, specifically in Guanabara Bay, beside Rio De Janeiro, working nightshift. So I had the opportunity, without too much vessel movement, to take some photographs.

03:38 on the 28th. Full Moon back again.

The orientation of the partial eclipse would be different from that seen at home in Michigan. Home being 43.5 degrees North while Rio is 22.8 degrees South, rotates the view almost 70 degrees. Which, incidentally for all the flat earthers out there, kinda proves the world is a Globe.
