                         Lunar Eclipse in Two Hemispheres   
       Image Credit & Copyright: North - Zhouyue Zhu, South - Lucy Yunxi Hu   
      
      Explanation: September's total lunar eclipse is tracked across night   
      skies from both the northern and southern hemispheres of planet Earth   
      in these two dramatic timelapse series. In the northern hemisphere   
      sequence (top panel) the MoonCÇÖs trail arcs from the upper left to the   
      lower right. It passes below bright planet Saturn, seen under mostly   
      clear skies from the international campus of Zhejiang University in   
      China at about 30 degrees north latitude. In contrast, the southern   
      hemisphere view from Lake Griffin, Canberra, Australia at 35 degrees   
      south latitude, records the MoonCÇÖs trail from the upper right to the   
      lower left. Multiple lightning flashes from thunderstorms near the   
      horizon appear reflected in the lake. Both sequences were photographed   
      with 16mm wide-angle lenses and both cover the entire eclipse, with the   
      darkened red Moon totally immersed in Earth's umbral shadow near   
      center. But the different orientations of the MoonCÇÖs path across the   
      sky reveal the perspective shifts caused by the views from northern vs.   
      southern latitudes.
