Got my pictures of the total lunar eclipse together, this was my first attempt at doing a final collage photo at each phase, which I kind of bunged up the timings a little bit but it still turned out good enough.
Wow thankyou everyone! I was not expecting to get 280+ upvotes
Red’s only there in this constellation, when the sunlight goes throug earth’s atmosphere.
i know but I’m talking about why only the images in the middle show red, it doesn’t just appear out of nowhere right?
I think that’s what they’re saying, when the light passes through Earth’s atmosphere before hitting the moon, the blue is filtered out and the result is red.
That said, I do also believe it doesn’t show up immediately on full eclipse, so there is some red light before, and indeed it’s just overwhelmed by the much brighter direct illumination.
yes that’s what I meant, thanks
