Eclipsed Moon Montage

NASA APOD · Sebastien Gauthier

COSMIC MESSAGE

Amateur astronomer Sebastien Gauthier composed this montage of the Moon sliding through Earth's shadow. The deepest part of the total eclipse is in the central exposure. The play of light across the lunar surface shows that Earth's shadow is not uniformly dark. Lunar maria and montes are still visible in the dimmed, reddened sunlight scattered into space.
