This image was taken on December 10, and consists of hundreds of shots depicting the gradual movement of the moon across the sky. It was taken in the Zagros mountains in Iran as the moon was experiencing a total lunar eclipse. It is because of this that the moon appears to be red; the umbra of the Earth, which is cast onto the moon during a lunar eclipse, is colored red. This is a very impressive image, and shows a unique and fascinatng view of the moon which I am glad to have.
