“Pumpkin Moon” is copyrighted by Sebastien Gauthier. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe red and orange hues on the Moon's face in this image are from the October 27th total lunar eclipse. This composite was made from exposures taken every 8.5 minutes during the total eclipse phase, with the central exposure marking the eclipse's midpoint. It shows that Earth's shadow is not uniformly dark, as lunar features are still visible in the dimmed, reddened sunlight.
