Visibility
It could be seen completely over Australia, seen rising over Asia, and Eastern Africa, and setting over Western North and South America. For the first time, the lunar eclipse was seen very visible over Manila and other parts of the Philippines since the first modern lunar eclipse happened on July 26, 1953. Eleven years later, another central total lunar eclipse was also followed on June 16, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word visibility:
“My children have taught me things. Things I thought I knew. The most profound wisdom they have given me is a respect for human vulnerability. I have known that people are resilient, but I didn’t appreciate how fragile they are. Until children learn to hide their feelings, you read them in their faces, gestures, and postures. The sheer visibility of shyness, pain, and rejection let me recognize and remember them.”
—Shirley Nelson Garner (20th century)
