Photographer    John Harrison captured this view of the Dec. 10 total solar eclipse    above San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. "I went out at sunrise this    morning not sure what to expect," he wrote. "What an awesome sight! The    blue skies at sunrise with the red moon overhead were just a sight to    watch. It was worth the 3 a.m. start to our fun shooting." See more  of   his portfolio at the John Harrison Photography website.

Millions of people witnessed today's total lunar eclipse, and that means there were plenty of cameras snapping in the darkness. We've put together this sampling from the photos submitted via FirstPerson, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.
This was the last total solar eclipse until 2014, but there'll be plenty of other sky phenomena between now and then — including an unusual "diamond ring" annular solar eclipse next May, a Venus transit in June, a total solar eclipse in November, and meteor showers galore. Please keep us in mind whenever you've got a cool picture of the cosmos, and thanks for passing along slick eclipse pics like these:

Humza Mehbub sent this composite image of the lunar eclipse from Lahore, Pakistan. The multiple exposures show Earth's shadow creeping across the moon's disk from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Lahore, when the eclipse hit its peak.

Anthony  Citrano,  a fashion photographer from Venice, Calif., captured this  pre-dawn  view of the eclipse as seen over Malibu and the Santa Monica  Mountains.  "Before going to bed at 1 a.m. ... I considered setting my  alarm to  get up and shoot the eclipse," Citrano wrote. "I was feeling  quite  tired - and lazily decided not to set the alarm. But my  subconscious  mind was determined, because I nevertheless awoke four  hours later. I  got out of bed, looked out the window, and it was just  starting to go  into shadow. I shot a few hand-held shots from my home in  Venice - and  then hopped in the car and drove the mile or two to the  Santa Monica  bluffs. This shot is the result. ... Running out the door I  didn't  notice I was traveling with a nearly-dead battery - and no  spares - and  this lens is really hard on power. I ran out of juice just  after this  shot, so I'm glad I got it." To learn more about Citrano's  day job,  check out his portfolio at Zigzag Lens.Daniel Fischer
German  science writer  Daniel Fischer captured this picture of the total  eclipse during a trip  to Ranihet, India. "Took a lot of pictures with  different settings, as  a guide for the next total lunar eclipse - which,  unfortunately, is  now 3 years away."

Cartographer  Michael  Zeiler sent in this composite photo that captures the last  partial  stages of the lunar eclipse as seen from Los Alamos, N.M. "Total  lunar  eclipse began two minutes after sunrise where I live," Zeiler  wrote. "I  tried to capture a photograph of the selenelion, but missed it  by a  couple of minutes." Zeiler's website is the aptly named   Eclipse-Maps.com, and he has produced charts for the May annular solar   eclipse as well as the November total solar eclipse. "My map of the   transit of Venus is on page 70 of the January 2012 Sky and Telescope,"   he says.Jim Werle

JoAnne  and  Michael Schnyder sent this picture of the partial eclipse from Cape   Verde, Ariz. This was the view at 6:45 a.m. MT, at a stage when Earth's   shadow hadn't yet completely covered the moon's disk but you could   already make out the reddish eclipse glow.Adam Gray
For  some observers in the  western U.S., the eclipse provided the seemingly  impossible opportunity  to catch the sunrise and the moonset  simultaneously - a phenomenon  known as "selenelion." Adam Gray sent in  these two photos that show the  brightening sunrise sky in the east and  the darkening moon in the  west. "The marine layer started to roll in  right at about the time of  totality," Gray wrote.sumber:http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/10/9353814-your-views-of-the-lunar-eclipse
