      Explanation: Why is the Moon on top of this building? Planning. It took   
      the astrophotographer careful planning -- including figuring out   
      exactly where to place the camera and exactly when to take the shot --   
      to create this striking superposition. The single image featured was   
      taken in the early morning hours of November 19, near the peak of the   
      partial lunar eclipse that was occurring as the Moon passed through the   
      Earth's shadow. At this time, almost the entire Moon -- 99.1 percent of   
      its area -- was in the darkest part of the Earth's shadow. The building   
      is the Gran Torre Santiago building in Chile, the tallest building in   
      South America. Although the entire eclipse lasted an impressive six   
      hours, this image had to be taken within just a few seconds to get the   
      alignment right -- the Earth's rotation soon moved the building out of   
      alignment. The next Earth-Moon eclipse will be a total eclipse of the   
      Sun that will occur on December 4 -- but only be visible from the   
      bottom of our world.
