Total lunar eclipse, montage image
Total lunar eclipse, montage image. Sequence of consecutive images running from left to right, showing the Moon passing through the shadow of the Earth. This cuts off the sunlight that normally illuminates the Moons surface. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon appears orange due to being illuminated by sunlight passing through the Earths atmosphere. The whiter areas are where the shadow hasn t yet reached (upper left) and where the moon has passed out of it (upper right)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of a total lunar eclipse in all its glory. The montage image showcases a sequence of consecutive images, running from left to right, depicting the Moon passing through the shadow of the Earth. As this celestial event unfolds, the sunlight that typically illuminates the Moon's surface is cut off, resulting in an awe-inspiring sight. During a lunar eclipse, our satellite takes on a striking orange hue as it is bathed in sunlight that has passed through Earth's atmosphere. This unique interaction between light and atmosphere creates this breathtaking color transformation. The contrasting areas within the image showcase where the shadow has not yet reached (upper left) and where the Moon has emerged from it (upper right), displaying different shades and intensities. Set against a black background, this stunning photograph transports us into space and allows us to witness one of nature's most extraordinary spectacles firsthand. It serves as a reminder of our place in the vastness of our solar system and highlights how physics and optics play crucial roles in understanding these celestial events. Taken by Science Photo Library during October 2005, this composite image beautifully encapsulates both scientific wonderment and artistic brilliance. Its vibrant colors evoke feelings of autumnal warmth while simultaneously sparking curiosity about our universe's mysteries.
