MADRID, Spain (Reuters) — The second lunar eclipse of the year was seen around Madrid’s “Four Towers” skyscrapers on Monday (August 7) evening at the moment the moon rose and the sun set.
Due to the eclipse the moon acquired a reddish brown color that lasted two hours and slowly receded afterwards.
The effect is generated when the sun, earth and moon become aligned and the moon crosses the shadow projected by the earth which lies between the moon and the sun.
At approximately 1920GMT the full moon started to rise above the towers and kept rising to the right side of the towers.
