Explanation:
On July 16 the Moon celebrated the 50th anniversary of the
launch of Apollo 11
with a lunar eclipse visible from much of planet Earth.
In this view part of the lunar disk is immersed
in Earth's dark, reddened
umbral shadow.
Near the maximum eclipse phase,
it just touches down along a mountain ridge.
The rugged Tyrolean nightscape was recorded after moonrise south
of Innsbruck, Austria with a dramatically lit communication tower
along the ridgeline.
Of course eclipses rarely travel alone.
This partial lunar eclipse
was at the Full Moon following July 2nd's New Moon and total
eclipse of the Sun.
