Explanation:
The first and only total lunar eclipse for the
year 2001
occured on the evening of January 9/10 as the full Moon glided
through Earth's shadow.
Unlike a
total solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse is
visible for anyone on the
night side of the planet during the event.
The night side for this geocentric
celestial event
included Europe, Asia, and Africa where the
Moon
could be seen immersed in the umbra or dark portion of
Earth's shadow for about 62 minutes as it passed
just north of the shadow's center.
This dramatic telescopic
photo of
the eclipsed Moon
was made near Ankara, Turkey close to the time of midpoint of
the total phase.
The fact that the northern (top) portion of the eclipsed Moon
is clearly brighter, even near mid-totality, demonstrates that
Earth's shadow is not uniformly dark.
