The half covered moon is seen at
the beginning of a lunar eclipse in the sky over
Gudalajara, Mexico, May 15, 2003. During the
three-hour long eclipse the earth's shadow moves
over the surface of the moon and when it is
totally covered by the earth's shadow, the moon
turns orange as the light from the sun is bent and
filtered by the earth's atmosphere.
