Eclipsed Moon Over Wyoming
Explanation: A setting full moon rarely looks like this. Monday morning just before a fully lit
Strawberry Moon
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. Venus Transit Gallery:
