Explanation:
Predawn hours of November 19 found the Moon
in partly cloudy skies over Cancun, Mexico.
Captured in this
telephoto
snapshot,
the lunar disk is not quite entirely immersed in Earth's dark
umbral shadow
during a long partial lunar eclipse.
The partial eclipse was deep though, deep enough to show
the dimmed but reddened light in Earth's shadow.
That's a sight
often anticipated by
fans of total lunar eclipses.
Wandering through the constellation Taurus,
the eclipsed
Moon's dimmer light
also made it easier to spot the Pleiades star cluster.
The stars of the
Seven Sisters
share this frame at the upper right, with the
almost totally
eclipsed Moon.
