See it on NASA's siteThis long-exposure image captures the Moon entering Earth's shadow during a total lunar eclipse. The photograph was taken with a Speed Graphic camera on the island of Cyprus. With its shutter open for 90 minutes, it recorded the full moon's trail as it passed through Earth's umbra. This shows the progression of the eclipse.
