Eclipse at moonset.This picture is capturing an eclipse. this picture was taken at the Pacific ocean and Chilean coast that lies below some clouds. What is seen in the predawn colors is a partially eclipsed moon growing dark. You can see the curved edge of planet earths shadow still cuts across the middle of the moon. From the southern hemisphere and much of eastern america the moon completely immersed within earths shadow.. To the west total phase could be followed for almost an hour. This makes the mood turn a dark red.  This captures the beauty of space.
