Yesterday it was not possible to see the lunar eclipse from Europe, the privilege was reserved to North and South Americans. But the first of the four Tetrads was visible, as will the others, with the service of live-streaming realized by NASA, with additional imagery available through the Slooh camera, a robotic telescope service accessible over the web.

Lunar eclipses take place about twice a year. They're rarely total, making this tetrad an unusual event. But there will be a series of four total eclipses taking place at regular intervals of six months, an astronomical event known as a Lunar Tetrad. All sorts of prophecies are related to Lunar Tetrad, all of them forecasting big changes.
