Explanation:
What's more rare than a supermoon total lunar eclipse?
How about a supermoon total lunar eclipse over a lightning storm.
Such an electrifying sequence was captured yesterday from
Ibiza, an island in southeastern
Spain.
After planning the location for beauty, and the timing to capture the entire eclipse
sequence,
the only thing that had to cooperate for this astrophotographer to capture a
memorable eclipse sequence
was the weather.
What looked to be a
bother on the
horizon, though, turned out to be a
blessing.
The composite picture features over
200 digitally combined images from the same location over the course of a night.
The full moon is seen setting as it
faded to
red in Earth's shadow and then returned to normal.
The fortuitous lightning is seen reflected in the Mediterranean to the right of the
400-meter tall rocky island of
Es Vedra.
Although the next total eclipse of a large and bright supermoon will occur in 2033,
the
next total eclipse
of any full moon will occur in January 2018 and be best
visible from
eastern Asia and Australia.
