The lunar eclipse started last night at 5.27 pm and would reach its peak just after the moon rise at 8.12 pm. The red glow of the so -called blood moon would be the best to be seen just after sunset. The clouds only threw a spanner in the works and before that the moon remained hidden behind clouds on the horizon.
Can be seen later
Shortly after 9 p.m. the lunar eclipse was clearly visible in many places in Noord-Holland. The eclipse was already over its peak at the time, but the orange color with dark haze in the shade was still clearly visible. Hobby photographer Sjef Kenniphaas from Egmond aan Zee took the impressive photo below.
