What eventually became the first total lunar eclipse visible from much of Ireland for several years occurred in the evening of 3rd March, 2007. ... Armagh Observatory astronomers Tolis Christou, Miruna Popescu and John McFarland captured on camera the different phases of the eclipse from County Armagh, noting the now familiar coppery-red colour of the eclipsed Moon due to sunlight filtering through progressively denser layers in the Earth's atmosphere as seen from the Earth's natural satellite. ...

... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...

The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...
