THE BLOOD MOON: Oat from 'Hangingpixels Photo Art' captured the evolutions. In the early hours of Monday morning (1:30 AM–5:30 AM), I documented the total lunar eclipse using three primary cameras and two timelapse setups. The final result is a composite sequence illustrating the Moon’s progression through penumbral, partial, total, and exit phases. To highlight the symmetry of the event, the frames were arranged according to the Fibonacci sequence, reflecting the Golden Ratio. A few early and late-stage frames were reconstructed due to intermittent cloud interference, but the overall dataset preserves the complete transition. MORE information

HISTORIC SNAPSHOT: 'Souvenir of our trip to Jenolan Caves’ outside Hartley Court House in 1938'.
