      Explanation: The beginning, middle, and end of a journey through planet   
      Earth's colorful umbral shadow is captured in this timelapse composite   
      image of a total lunar eclipse. Taken on November 8 from Kitt Peak   
      National Observatory this eclipse's 1 hour and 25 minute long total   
      phase starts on the right and finishes on the left. Reddened sunlight,   
      scattered into the central shadow by Earth's dusty atmosphere produces   
      the dramatic dark red hues reflected by the lunar disk. For this   
      eclipse, additional reddening is likely due to scattering from ash   
      lingering in the atmosphere after a large volcanic eruption in the   
      southern Pacific earlier this year. Seen at the right and left, the   
      Earth's shadow is still lighter along its edge though. That faint   
      bluish fringe along the lunar limb is colored by sunlight filtered   
      through Earth's stratospheric ozone layer.
