In 35 frames this composite image follows the Moon that night as it crossed into Earth&#8217;s dark umbral shadow. Taken 3 minutes apart, they almost melt together in a continuous screen that captures the dark colors within the shadow itself and the northern curve of the shadow&#8217;s edge. Sunlight scattered by the atmosphere into the shadow causes the lunar surface to appear reddened during totality (left), but close to the umbra&#8217;s edge, the limb of the eclipsed Moon shows a remarkable blue hue. The blue eclipsed moonlight originates as rays of sunlight pass through layers high in Earth&#8217;s upper stratosphere, colored by ozone that scatters red light and transmits blue. The Moon&#8217;s next crossing into Earth&#8217;s umbral shadow, will be on May 26, 2021. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap200124.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 21, 2019 moonwatchers on planet Earth saw a total lunar eclipse.
