Yesterday’s eclipse caught the attention of many people. Daniel Chiesa from Astropatagonia Bariloche did not go to the observatory in Ñirihuau because the cloud cover did not allow him to see the moon and the eclipse in all their splendor.
Anyway, he took some photos from his home uptown. He captured a curious image of the eclipsed moon: a bat flying in front. “Coincidence or luck sometimes generates these curious shots, at the moment I was photographing the moon, a bat (a nocturnal flying mammal) just passed in front of the camera, maybe 50 meters from the ground,” he described.

The shading could not be fully appreciated from Bariloche precisely because of the clouds that partially obscured the sky. For a moment it did, and that was when an amateur astronomer took the opportunity to capture the sequence.
Apparently a bat got between the moon and the camera.
It was around 11:12 PM that the Earth cast its shadow, and half an hour later the retrograde process began, culminating on September 18th at 1:47 AM.
