EARTH’S SHADOW OVER THE MOON

I made this composite of 14 photos of various stages of the Total Lunar Eclipse of May 15, 2022 to show the shape of the Earth’s shadow (in this case the darkest shadow stage, which we call Umbra) over the Moon.
The Reddish-orange color happens because the sunlight shining directly onto Earth passes through the atmosphere and is projected onto the Moon — giving it a red tone during the eclipse. This same effect is seen on sunrises and sunsets.

EQUIPMENT:

• Sky-Watcher 150mm / F8
