Explanation:
As seen from Cocoa Beach Pier, Florida, planet Earth,
the Moon rose at sunset on February 10 while
gliding through Earth's
faint outer shadow.
In progress was the
first eclipse of 2017,
a penumbral lunar eclipse followed in this
digital stack of seaside exposures.
Of course,
the penumbral shadow is lighter than the planet's
umbral shadow.
That central, dark,
shadow
is easily seen on the lunar disk during a
total or partial lunar eclipse.
Still, in this penumbral eclipse the limb of the Moon grows just perceptibly
darker as it rises above the western horizon.
The second eclipse of 2017 could be more dramatic though.
With viewing from
a path across planet Earth's southern hemisphere,
on February 26 there will be an
annular eclipse of the Sun.
