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

    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.
