Total eclipse of the Moon in November 1993
Lunar eclipse. Time-lapse image of a total eclipse of the Moon, a phenomenon caused when the Moon enters the shadow cast by the Earth. Even when totally shadowed the Moon does not generally disappear. It is still visible due to the sunlight refracted onto its surface by the Earths atmosphere. The colour of the lunar disc during an eclipse depends on the amount of dust and volcanic ash present in the atmosphere of the Earth. This is because these particles scatter blue light, making the sunlight appear red. Photographed on 29 November 1993 over Dunkirk in Maryland, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing spectacle of a total eclipse of the Moon, taken in November 1993. As the Moon enters the shadow cast by our Earth, it undergoes a stunning transformation that is beautifully depicted in this time-lapse image. Contrary to popular belief, even when completely engulfed in darkness, the Moon does not vanish from sight. The sunlight refracted onto its surface by our planet's atmosphere ensures that it remains visible throughout this celestial event. The coloration of the lunar disc during an eclipse varies depending on atmospheric conditions. In this particular image, taken over Dunkirk in Maryland, USA, on 29 November 1993, we witness a reddish hue enveloping the Moon. This striking crimson shade arises from blue light scattering caused by dust and volcanic ash present in Earth's atmosphere. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both the awe-inspiring beauty and scientific significance of lunar eclipses. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with space exploration and cosmology.
