Through the shadow
Sebastiaan Bakker of Naxxar sent in this photograph of the total lunar eclipse on Saturday morning, when the moon passed through the earth's umbral shadow and was totally eclipsed for 25 minutes. During totality the moon attains a reddish-orange hue as the only light reaching its surface is that refracted, or "bent", by the earth's atmosphere.
This was the last eclipse of a repetitive series of eclipses known as the Saros series, spanning about 18 years.
