Astronomy Picture of the Day

   [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our
      fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation
                    written by a professional astronomer.

     [2]Two images of a partial lunar eclipse are shown. On the left the
      image is overexposed everywhere except the bottom right where the
    eclipsed part of the Moon is visible. On the right image most of the
   image is normally exposed but the bottom right part is dark. Please see
               the explanation for more detailed information.

   Explanation: What's happened to the Moon? Within the last day, part of
   the Moon moved through the [4]Earth's shadow. This happens about
   [5]once or twice a year, but not every month since the Moon's orbit
   around the Earth is [6]slightly tilted. Pictured here, the face of a
   full [7]Hunter's Moon is shown twice from [8]Italy during this partial
   [9]lunar eclipse. On the left, most of the Moon appears over[10]exposed
   except for the eclipsed bottom right, which shows some familiar
   [11]lunar surface details. In contrast, on the right, most of the
   (same) [12]Moon appears normally exposed, with the exception of the
   bottom right, which now appears dark. All [13]lunar eclipses are
   visible from the half of the [14]Earth facing the Moon at the time of
   the eclipse, but [15]this eclipse was [16]visible specifically from
   [17]Europe, [18]Africa, [19]Asia, and [20]Australia, clouds
   [21]permitting. In April, a [22]total solar eclipse will be visible
   from [23]North America.
