Article 9: Lunar eclipse fails to set world alight at Newgrange solstice

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/lunar-eclipse-fails-to-set-world-alight-at-newgrange-solstice-2470017.html


Summary

On Tuesday December 21 the moon passed out of a full eclipse. It was the first time in 450 years and this event is not expected for 200 years as well. A lot of people went to Newgrange in Ireland to see this happening. A lottery was represent to people who wanted to watch the event in the “special chamber”. People also came from all around the world to stand outside the chamber. The visitors came from England, the US, Czech Republic, Sweden and Germany. Unfortunately a lot of snowflakes were falling heavily on the crowd, so it was not possible to see the event clear at all.



Response

Too bad that it was not possible to see the event the way they wanted. Like they said, it’s the first time in 450 years, so it is a really special event. I would be very regretful when I traveled around the world just for that event and there’s nothing to see.
