Total Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon Sydney 26May2021
My photography of the Total lunar eclipse, blood moon / super moon visible from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on 26th May 2021. ** The moon rose in the East (bottom right corner) and proceeded in a westerly direction. A total lunar eclipse occurred on 26 May 2021. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned with Earth between the other two, which can only happen at a full moon. The eclipsed moon appeared as a faint red disk in the sky due to a small amount of light being refracted through the earth's atmosphere; this appearance gives a lunar eclipse hence its nickname of a Blood Moon.
