TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON: Earlier
today, the full Moon passed directly through the shadow of Earth,
producing a total lunar eclipse. The shadowed Moon turned a coppery
shade of orange visible in Asia, Australia and much of North America.
Chirag Upreti sends this picture from New York City:
"The eclipse was gorgeous," says Upreti. "As morning twilight illuminated the landscape, the Moon was already low on the horizon. What a stunning scene to absorb on a really cold morning! Just as I was taking the picture, an airplane passed over the Statue of Liberty and a sea gull photobombed the eclipsed Moon at the same time."
