STORYLINE
Astronomy buffs and amateur stargazers around the world turned out to
watch a total lunar eclipse on Wednesday night - the last one Earth will get for nearly two and a half years.
With the Earth passing directly between the sun and the moon, the only
light hitting the full moon was from the home planet's sunrises and sunsets.
In Argentina, the eclipse was expected to be visible from 2214 local time on Wednesday (0114 GMT Thursday) till dawn on Thursday.
In Buenos Aires, residents were able to observe the eclipse by pointing their telescopes and cameras towards the north.
Dozens of families met at the city's observatory to witness the spectacle.
The next total lunar eclipse will be able to be seen from Argentina in four years, on 21 February of 2008.
