Total Lunar Eclipse

Total (umbral) lunar eclipse over Michigan

The eclipsed moon takes on a distinct red-orange glow because
of the sunlight's refraction and Rayleigh scattering through
the Earth's atmosphere on its way to the eclipsed moon.

The eclipsed moon is about 15 stops
(32,000x) dimmer than the full moon.
