Explanation:
A beautiful, reddened Moon slid through dark skies on April 15, completely
immersed in Earth's shadow for well over an hour. It was the year's first total
lunar eclipse and was widely enjoyed over the planet's Western Hemisphere. Seen
from the Caribbean island of Barbados, the dimmed lunar disk is captured during
totality in this colorful skyview. The dark Moon's red color contrasts nicely
with bright bluish star Spica, alpha star of the constellation Virgo, posing
only about two degrees away. Brighter than Spica and about 10 degrees from the
Moon on the right, Mars is near opposition and closest approach to Earth. The
Red Planet's own ruddy hue seems to echo the color of the eclipsed Moon.
