  • oksigh, on 02/21/2008, -0/+1Why does it change color?
    • danboarder, on 02/21/2008, -0/+1It looks "red" when it's in the shade of Earth, and the little light hitting it is filtering around Earth... from Wikipedia: "The color and brightness of the Moon during an eclipse varies according to the amount of light refracted by the Earth's atmosphere."
  • danboarder, on 02/21/2008, -0/+1correction - the photo documents the eclipse progression from 7:51 to 9:24p (not 9:05 as in the description).
