Whether you are a snowbird enjoying the tail end of winter elsewhere in the world (like us) or a Valley sleepyhead who failed to stay up all night Thursday to witness the lunar eclipse, The Current offers you a chance to see what you missed. These stunning photos are courtesy of Madawaska Valley resident Doug De La Matter. As a former Madawaska Valley District High School science teacher and keen astronomer/photographer, Doug is the guy who (in his own words)
… stays up all night so you don’t have to …
Doug has kindly shared three photos with us and describes what readers can see in them, “the ‘red’ moon and the sliver of white that shows we were ‘lucky’ to be able to call it a total eclipse if only for a few minutes.”
The three images below are higher quality than the one at the top of this story, so well worth clicking on for a closer look.
