“Moon Between the Stones” is copyrighted by Philip Perkins. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDuring a total lunar eclipse in May, astronomer Phillip Perkins captured this image of the reddened Moon rising over Stonehenge. The Moon was low on the horizon, positioned perfectly through a gap in the ancient stones. The red hue is caused by Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight into the Moon's shadow. This photograph merges celestial mechanics with an iconic historical monument.
