Track "Sergio's Theme" - Deep Dish

Dicky Beach, Caloundra.

On this day - 21 December 2010 a Lunar Eclipse happened by our shores.
We headed to the infamous (in QLD circles) Dicky Beach, to catch the moon rising over the wreck.
Unfortunately clouds hindered a real-time view of the moon doing its thing, but as the night wore on, it came out to give us some light.

About the Lunar Eclipse:

THE sun, moon and the Earth aligned last night to create a rare lunar eclipse coinciding with the southern hemisphere's summer solstice.

US and Australian skywatchers see a rare total lunar eclipse on shortest day of the year.

This spectacular event was the first time the southern summer and northern hemispehere's winter solstice had occurred simultaneously in almost four centuries.

The last time this occurred was in 1638, reported The Daily Mail.

The best view had been expected in Brisbane, with a full lunar eclipse lasting 13 minutes from 6.40pm (AEDT), but cloud cover and bad weather hindered much of the view for star-gazers.
