Apod-4.1 Eclipsed moon and stars


THis is an image of the moon during a total lunar eclipse. It is a collection of two exposures, one to capture the moon and one to capture the constellation leo which can be seen behind the moon. The moon, which is visible in this picture, is still being hit by sunlight although it is during a total lunar eclipse. The sunlight is reddened and refracted by the dusty atmosphere.
