See it on NASA's siteThis image captures the Moon's path during a total lunar eclipse in January 2000. Astrophotographer Doug Murray achieved this effect by locking his camera's shutter open. No special filters or telescopes were needed to enjoy this celestial event. Lunar eclipses have entertained skygazers across Earth's night side for centuries.
