Lunar Eclipse PHOTOS: Stunning Images Of June 2011 Eclipse

Although it wasn't viewable in North America, thousands still watched the stunning lunar eclipse live online.

Don't worry if you missed it, we've rounded up some of the best photos from the rare event below -- vote for your favorites!

FALSE!

It was seen in CERTAIN PLACES around the world...

North America--namely, NY was not one of them which simply pissed me off....
