The faint planet Uranus (magnitude +5.7) appears to the upper left about one degrees from the eclipsed Moon. The moon is darker on the upper left because this part of the Moon is more deeply immersed in the Earth's shadow. The first picture was taken about one minute after the total phase of the eclipse began (6:25 a.m. This eclipse nearly coincided with the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Sukkoth, which begins at sunset this day. This was a moonset eclipse for the eastern USA with the eclipsed Moon setting in the west as the Sun rose. The remaining two eclipses of this tetrad occur next year on April 4 and September 27/28. (A tetrad is four successive total lunar eclipses.) The first occurred six months earlier on April 15. This is the second total lunar eclipse of the 2014/15 lunar tetrad.

The bright star Spica ( Alpha Virginis) appears about 1.5 degrees from the eclipsed Moon. (A tetrad is four successive total lunar eclipses.) The remaining three eclipses of this tetrad occur 2014 October, 8, 2015 April September 27/28. This is the first total lunar eclipse of the 2014/15 lunar tetrad.

The right image is essentially a normal full moon taken just before the Moon completely left the Earth’s penumbra. The shading on the lower right part of the Moon is obvious in the left image. Lunar penumbral eclipses are not exactly overwhelming! Still, look at the attached composite photo and one can easily see the eclipse. The public, however, probably would not have noticed anything different. Did a lunar eclipse really occur Friday evening, 2013 October 18? Yes, it dida penumbral lunar eclipse of the Hunter’s Full Moon! Skies were surprisingly clear at sunset and astute observers should have detected a subtle shading on the lower right side of the rising Moon.

Darkness and color can also vary across the lunar disk during the eclipse. Distance of the Moon from the center of the Earth's shadow also plays a role. Colors can range from a dull copper color to a deep red and may vary across the lunar disk. Some lunar eclipses are very dark, others bright. Darkness and the hue depend on conditions in the Earth's atmosphere at the time of the eclipse. Thus, the shadow may not be dark but can also be colored reddish since bluer colors are filtered out by the Earth's atmosphere. Sunlight, streaming through Earth's atmosphere, is bent into the Earth's shadow filling the shadow with sunlight. Totality: 2004 October Total Lunar Eclipse.
