近乎月全食

An Almost Total Lunar Eclipse

Explanation: Predawn hours of November 19 found the Moon in partly cloudy skies over Cancun, Mexico. Captured in this telephoto snapshot, the lunar disk is not quite entirely immersed in Earth’s dark umbral shadow during a long partial lunar eclipse. The partial eclipse was deep though, deep enough to show the dimmed but reddened light in Earth’s shadow. That’s a sight often anticipated by fans of total lunar eclipses. Wandering through the constellation Taurus, the eclipsed Moon’s dimmer light also made it easier to spot the Pleiades star cluster. The stars of the Seven Sisters share this frame at the upper right, with the almost totally eclipsed Moon.

说明: 这幅11月19日摄于墨西哥坎昆云掩天空的长焦镜头影像，记录了这次持续时间很长的月偏食期间，几乎完全没入黝黑地球本影的月盘。这次月偏食的食分非常大，因此得以见到月全食期间，月亮完全进入地球暗影之时，观者预期会见到的泛红月盘。此外，当时月亮正好通过金牛座，因为食月的月华大减，让影像右上角的昴宿星团之身影得以显现出来，与这轮接近全食的月盘为伴。
