STORYLINE:
Stargazers, families and astronomers camped outside planetarium in Caracas to see the partial lunar eclipse.

A dense cloudy sky during the beginning of the night made people anxious, fearing they could not see it.

But just as the shadow began to grow on the moon, the clouds slowly disappeared. the sky cleared and people could see the entirety of the eclipse.

"It's turning red!", kids shouted

Hector Garcia and his family set a tent and a telescope to watch the eclipse together.

Garcia, a veterinarian, began his obsession with the universe and the sky when he gifted his son a telescope.

Together they have learned about the planets and watch cosmic events together whenever they can.

The night of the eclipse also happened to be Garcia's birthday.
