Total eclipse of the Moon in October 1996
Lunar eclipse. Total eclipse of the Moon, a phenomenon caused when the Moon enters the shadow cast by the Earth. This image shows the first moments after the totality phase: the bright portion at upper left is just emerging from the shadow of the Earth. During totality the Moon does not generally disappear. It is still visible due to the sunlight refracted onto its surface by the Earths atmosphere. The colour of the lunar disc during an eclipse depends on the amount of dust and volcanic ash present in the atmosphere of the Earth. This is because these particles scatter blue light, making the sunlight appear red. Photograph taken in October 1996 in the USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of a total eclipse of the Moon in October 1996. As the Moon enters the shadow cast by Earth, it undergoes a breathtaking transformation. In this image, we witness the first moments after totality, where a bright portion at the upper left emerges from Earth's shadow. During totality, contrary to popular belief, the Moon does not vanish completely. It remains visible due to sunlight refracted onto its surface by our planet's atmosphere. The color of the lunar disc during an eclipse is influenced by various factors such as dust and volcanic ash present in Earth's atmosphere. These particles scatter blue light while allowing red light to pass through, resulting in a stunning reddish hue that bathes our celestial neighbor. Taken in October 1996 within the United States, this photograph serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and astronomical beauty. It reminds us of our place in an awe-inspiring universe and highlights how natural phenomena can captivate our imagination. With elements encompassing moon science, astronomy, planetary exploration, cosmology, refraction of light, and eclipses—this extraordinary image provides an opportunity for contemplation and appreciation of nature's wonders.
