    Those who don't know a Lunar Eclipse is in progress will likely mistake Earth's shadow for the Moon going through phases.

        @janflora Thanks. It's tricky. Best to use a tripod, fill as much of the frame as you can, & you actually need a fairly fast exposure

        @neiltyson Lunar eclipse? Nah, I'm still going to blame a massive super star destroyer passing through our system.

        @julie_marcus @neiltyson Monday night and very early Tuesday morning. Mars will also be at its closest distance to Earth.
