Description

Against all expectations of clear skies, everything went well and the total lunar eclipse revealed itself in its splendor. In the photo, the Earth's shadow covering the Moon in its entirety, at its maximum peak!
The Reddish-orange color happens because the sunlight shining directly onto Earth passes through the atmosphere and is projected onto the Moon — giving it a red tone during the eclipse. This same effect is seen on sunrises and sunsets.
