      Explanation: On November 8 the Full Moon turned blood red as it slid   
      through Earth's shadow in a beautiful total lunar eclipse. During   
      totality it also passed in front of, or occulted, outer planet Uranus   
      for eclipse viewers located in parts of northern America and Asia. For   
      a close-up and wider view these two images were taken just before the   
      occultation began, captured with different telescopes and cameras from   
      the same roof top in Shanghai, China. Normally very faint compared to a   
      Full Moon, the tiny, pale, greenish disk of the distant ice giant is   
      just to the left of the Moon's edge and about to disappear behind the   
      darkened, red lunar limb. Though only visible from certain locations   
      across planet Earth, lunar occultations of planets are fairly common.   
      But for this rare "lunar eclipse occultation" to take place, at the   
      time of the total eclipse the outer planet had to be both at opposition   
      and very near the ecliptic plane to fall in line with Sun, Earth, and   
      Moon.
