NASA published this photo as their ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day' today. Of ‘astroimager' Jerry Lodriguss' shot they write: “The engaging composite picture was made by combining a filtered, telephoto image of the Moon and surrounding starfield with a telescopic exposure. The combination dramatizes the reddened moonlight while clearly showing the variation of brightness and color in Earth's not-so-dark shadow across the lunar surface.”
