Explanation:
May's
perigee Full Moon
slid through Earth's shadow yesterday
entertaining night skygazers in regions
around the Pacific.
Seen from western North America, it
sinks toward the rugged Sierra Nevada mountain range in this
time-lapse
series of the total lunar eclipse.
Low on the western horizon the Moon was captured at
mid-eclipse with two separate exposures.
Combined they reveal the
eclipsed Moon's reddened color
against the dark night sky
and the diffuse starlight band of the Milky Way.
Frames taken every five minutes from the fixed camera follow the
surrounding progression of the eclipse partial phases.
In the foreground a radio telescope dish at California's
Owen's Valley Radio
Observatory
points skyward.
