Explanation:
During last week's lunar eclipse, our Moon appeared to disappear.
As the Earth moved between the Moon and the Sun, the
Earth's shadow fell on the moon, making it
quite dark.
In the above photograph, the Earth's rotation caused the
Moon and stars to
appear as streaks
during this four-hour exposure.
In the foreground is the abbey of the Benedictive monastery of
Sant Llorenc del Munt, a structure in Girona, Spain
that has stood since the eleventh century.
As the Earth's shadow
engulfed the Moon, the Moon streak became less and less bright,
practically disappearing during
totality.
At this time, the Moon, which normally shines by
reflecting direct sunlight, shone only by sunlight refracted through the
Earth's atmosphere. Later, clouds obscured the re-appearing Moon.
