Lunar Eclipse over Mohali, India

This striking image captures the Moon during the September 7th lunar eclipse as seen from Mohali, Punjab, India. The Earth’s shadow paints the lunar surface in deep red hues, a result of sunlight scattering through Earth’s atmosphere and refracting into the umbra. At the same time, the brilliant glare of the uneclipsed portion creates a dramatic contrast, emphasizing the geometry of the event.

Lunar eclipses are visible to anyone on the night side of Earth when they occur, making them one of the most accessible celestial spectacles. Unlike solar eclipses, they can be safely viewed with the naked eye, connecting observers across continents under the same reddish glow of Earth’s shadow.

All of the data acquired to produce this image was shot during the Lunar eclipse's totality. The image was shot on the east coastline of New Zealand (Bortle 2) on the 26th of May 2021. This eclipse was special, not only because it occurred during a supermoon, but also because of its positioning in the night sky. Gear includes: Nikon Z6 and Rokinon 135mm F2, mounted on an iOptron Skyguider Pro. Exposure settings: Rho Ophiuchi - 16 x 30s, ISO 1600, F2.8. Lunar Surface: 1/5th of a second, ISO 1600, F2.8.

Lunar Eclipse (2019)

This is a sequence of the lunar eclipse 2019.

Santiago de Chile.

Reading from left to right, you can see how the Earth's shadow cone covers the lunar surface, until it is completely submerged in a reddish copper color. This particular color of lunar eclipses is due to the shadow cast by the sun on the earth, generating a scattering effect of the light refracted by its atmosphere.
