Total lunar eclipse, partial phase
Lunar eclipse. Moon during the partially-eclipsed phase of a total eclipse, just a few minutes before all of its surface becomes darkened. Lunar eclipses are caused when the Moon enters the shadow cast by the Earth. Even during a total lunar eclipse the Moon does not generally disappear. It is still visible due to the sunlight refracted onto its surface by the Earths atmosphere. The Moon appears red/brown because the blue light components of sunlight are scattered by dust particles in the atmosphere. Photographed on the night of 3-4 April 1996

Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a total lunar eclipse in its partial phase. Just moments before the moon's surface is entirely darkened, we witness this celestial event at its most intriguing stage. Lunar eclipses occur when the moon enters Earth's shadow, and even during a total eclipse, it does not vanish completely from sight. The sunlight refracted onto its surface by our planet's atmosphere allows us to still behold its presence. In this image, we see the moon adorned in shades of red and brown, resulting from the scattering of blue light components by dust particles suspended in our atmosphere. Taken on the night of April 3-4,1996, this photograph showcases not only an astronomical phenomenon but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with space exploration and understanding our place within the cosmos. As we gaze upon this ethereal scene filled with clouds crossing over a crescent moon, it sparks curiosity about planetary dynamics and cosmology. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous occasion for all science enthusiasts to appreciate and ponder upon.
