Lunar Eclipse, February 20, 2008
The lunar eclipse on February 20th, 2008 was an awesome sight. Unfortunately, it was overcast during it's totality from Snoqualmie. This is image is taken as the moon is starting to come out from behind earth's shadow, thus receiving direct sunlight and completely washing out a crescent relative to the rest of the moon.
The orangish color of the moon during an eclipse is because the light the moon is receiving is passing around the edges of the earth, as if it were viewing a sunrise and sunset from each side of the planet.
