Explanation:
Near the closest
point in its orbit,
the second Full Moon of the month occurred on January 31.
So did the first
Total Lunar Eclipse of 2018, as the Moon
slid through planet Earth's shadow.
In a postcard from planet Earth, this telescopic
snapshot captures the totally eclipsed Moon as it set
above the western horizon
and the Chiricahua Mountains of southern Arizona.
The Moon's evocative
reddened hue is due to sunlight scattered into the shadow.
Still, the
planet's shadow visibly grows darker near the
center, toward the
top
of the lunar disk.
