Explanation:
This atmospheric picture of a distant horizon looks toward
the tall Trisul peaks
of India's snowy Himalayan mountains.
Taken from a remote location on January 31, brightest star
Sirius shines at the upper right.
The red Moon rising is gliding through Earth's shadow during the
evening's much anticipated
total lunar eclipse.
Enjoyed across
the planet's night side, the eclipse was the first of two total lunar
eclipses in 2018,
kicking off a good year for moonwatchers.
But this was a
rare
treat.
The eclipsed Moon also loomed large near perigee, the closest point
in its orbit, during the second Full Moon of the month, also
known as a Blue Moon.
For the July 27, 2018 total lunar eclipse, the Full Moon will be
very near apogee.
