Super Moon Eclipse

Tucson, AZ

This shot is from just about 15 minutes until the middle of the total eclipse.
This was just about as close to a total lunar eclipse as can be, except for that small area
of brightening on the lower right. That bright part is from the penumbra of Earth's shadow,
while the darker part is from the umbra. I am likely splitting hairs, but unless the entirety
of the Moon is in Earth's umbra then it's not a total eclipse.

What a fine capture... I love how it hangs in the blackness of the universe
with the little stars around. This is so beautiful.
And, it is amazing that from your part of the universe you watched the same thing
as i did from my own place. The moon can connect so many people...
