                           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.
