﻿ Astronomy Picture of the Day [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2023 October 29 [2]Two images of a partial lunar eclipse are shown. On the left the image is overexposed everywhere except the bottom right where the eclipsed part of the Moon is visible. On the right image most of the image is normally exposed but the bottom right part is dark. Please see the explanation for more detailed information. A Partial Lunar Eclipse Image Credit & Copyright: [3]Orazio Mezzio Explanation: What's happened to the Moon? Within the last day, part of the Moon moved through the [4]Earth's shadow. This happens about [5]once or twice a year, but not every month since the Moon's orbit around the Earth is [6]slightly tilted. Pictured here, the face of a full [7]Hunter's Moon is shown twice from [8]Italy during this partial [9]lunar eclipse. On the left, most of the Moon appears over[10]exposed except for the eclipsed bottom right, which shows some familiar [11]lunar surface details. In contrast, on the right, most of the (same) [12]Moon appears normally exposed, with the exception of the bottom right, which now appears dark. All [13]lunar eclipses are visible from the half of the [14]Earth facing the Moon at the time of the eclipse, but [15]this eclipse was [16]visible specifically from [17]Europe, [18]Africa, [19]Asia, and [20]Australia, clouds [21]permitting. In April, a [22]total solar eclipse will be visible from [23]North America.
