Uma Lua poente raramente tem esta aparência.
Na manhã de segunda-feira, pouco antes de uma Lua Cheia totalmente iluminada "Strawberry Moon" (Nome dado à Lua Cheia de Junho pelas tribos Algonquin) descer por trás da Cadeia de Montanhas Absaroka, próxima a Cody, Wyoming, EUA, a sombra da Terra se interpôs no caminho.
Um eclipse parcial lunar semelhantemente poente era visível na maior parte das Américas do Norte e do Sul, enquanto simultaneamente a mesma Lua parcialmente escurecida era visível no leste da Ásia.
No plano de fundo da foto há uma formação de banco de neve conhecida como Horse's Head (Cabeça do Cavalo) ao largo de um tributário do Rio Shoshone. Eclipses lunares ocorrem cerca de duas vezes por ano, e o próximo - um eclipse penumbral - acontecerá no final de novembro.
A setting full moon rarely looks like this.
Monday morning just before a fully lit
Strawberry Moon (This name for the June Full Moon was universal to every Algonquin tribe) dropped behind the
Absaroka Mountain Range
near
Cody,
Wyoming,
USA, the
shadow of the Earth
got in the way.
A similarly setting partial lunar eclipse was visible throughout most of North and South America, while simultaneously the same partially darkened moon was visible throughout eastern Asia.
Pictured in the foreground is a snowbank formation known as the Horse's Head off a tributary of the Shoshone River. Lunar eclipses occur about twice a year, and the next one - a penumbral eclipse - will occur in late November.
