Description

A sequence of 9 No. images detailing the transition from the full 'super moon' to the eclipsed 'blood moon' at totality.   

The rust red orange colour is a result of light passing through the Earth's atmosphere and onto the surface of the Moon.  Light at the blue end of the visible spectrum (shorter wavelengths) is preferentially scattered by the atmosphere meaning that the majority of the light reaching the Moon is the longer wavelength oranges and reds.
