NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Great Refractor and Lunar Eclipse” is copyrighted by Laurie Hatch. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

On November 19, the Lick Observatory's 36-inch Great Refractor was pointed at a partially eclipsed Moon. The historic telescope's controls, coordinate dials, and 57-foot-long barrel were captured in this high dynamic range image. The lunar disk, growing brighter after its almost total eclipse phase, is visible beyond the foreshortened barrel and dome slit.
