A Deep Sky Behind an Eclipsed Moon
Explanation: The plan was to capture a picturesque part of the sky that was hosting an unusual guest. The result included a bonus â an additional and unexpected guest. The beautiful background features part of the central band of our
Milky Way galaxy on the far left, and the
colorful clouds of
Rho Ophiuchi in the image center. The unusual guest, a dimmed and
reddened Moon on the right, was expected because the image was taken during last weekâs
total lunar eclipse. The timing had to be right because
the Moon â both before and after eclipse â would be so bright it would overwhelm the background. The
unexpected guest was the
bright meteor across the image center. The
fleeting meteor streak was
captured on only one of the 10 consecutively-captured deep-field images from
La Palma in the
Spanish Canary Islands, while the
eclipsed Moon image was taken immediately afterwards with the same camera and from the same location. The next
total lunar eclipse â also quite expected â
will occur in early November.
