Description
The beginning of a total lunar eclipse, when a full moon passes directly behind earth and into its shadow, is shown in this photo taken from my yard on January 20, 2019. The red portion is that part of the moon from which sunlight already has been blocked by the earth. The only light reflected from moon to earth during an eclipse is that which has been refracted from the earth’s atmosphere, rather like a sunrise or sunset. The full moon will be dark reddish in color until the end of the eclipse, and stars may be seen in the night sky. Copyright 2019 Ann Horn. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
