Beom-Seok Yeom,
Beom-Seok Yeom took this photo of a lunar eclipse on May 4, 2004 from a mountain near Seoul, South Korea.
The eclipse was visible in most of Asia and much of Europe and Africa. Only in some locations was it a total eclipse, in which the Earth block sunlight from hitting the Moon.
The Moon sometimes turns read during an eclipse because sunlight is refracted through Earth's atmosphere, effectively taking all the planets sunrises and sunsets and casting a bit of each on the Moon.
The next total lunar eclipse occurs Oct. 28, 2004. It will be visible from all of North and South America. Part of the event will be visible from most of Europe and Africa. Details will be provided in October in our Full Moon Fever special report.
