[b] Explanation: [/b] What's happened to the Moon? This past weekend, once again, part of the Moon moved through the Earth's shadow. This happens about once or twice a year, [url=http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEdecade/LEdecade2001.html]on the average[/url], but not each month since the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHxcWSiD_4E]Moon's orbit[/url] around the Earth is slightly tilted. Pictured above, the [url=http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap051113.html]face of a full moon[/url] is partly blocked by Earth's clouds, and partly darkened on the upper right by [url=http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080820.html]Earth's umbral shadow[/url]. Clouds permitting, [url=http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OHfigures/OH2010-Fig02.pdf]the partial lunar eclipse[/url] was [url=http://spaceweather.com/eclipses/gallery_26jun10.htm]visible[/url] from the half of the Earth facing the Moon at the time of [url=http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OH2010.html#LE2010Jun26P]the eclipse[/url], which included much of Earth's [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_rim]Pacific Rim[/url].
