COSMIC MESSAGE

On October 8, 2014, a lunar eclipse was visible from Chongqing, China, as the Moon rose. This composite shows the Moon beginning as a dark red disk and then growing brighter as it climbed above the city lights. The Moon emerged from Earth's shadow, turning into a bright full moon in the evening sky.
