Nice shot. I missed the eclipse, because it was too cloudy. I saw the last one like a year ago. They are fun.
So does anyone know what makes the moon slightly illuminated even when it's within the umbra of the Earth's shadow? It's a red color then. From the Moon's perspective, the Sun is hidden behind the Earth, so I bet the Sun is shining through the thin layer of the Earth's atmosphere, and it's the color of a sunset. So the Moon is red as a result.
I'm just guessing, so I could be wrong. Anybody know? Also, does anyone know if there are any pictures of the lunar eclipse from the Moon's point of view?
