ALT A nearly total partial lunar eclipse fills the center of the frame against a dark sky. The Moon is bathed in shades of red, orange, and copper as Earth's shadow covers most of its surface, leaving only a thin, bright crescent illuminated along its left edge. Dark lunar maria and lighter highlands remain visible through the reddish glow. The image was captured during the November 19, 2021, partial eclipse of the full Beaver Moon, the longest partial lunar eclipse in centuries. Credit: NASA
