A Snow Moon Lunar Eclipse!

A Snow Moon Lunar Eclipse!

On Feb. 10-11, 2017, the Full Snow Moon passed through Earth’s shadow in a penumbrual lunar eclipse while the Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusáková made its closest approach. See photos of the awesome event here. THIS IMAGE: A comparison image of the Snow Moon penumbral lunar eclipse captured by the Slooh Community Observatory on Feb. 10, 2017 shows how much of the moon was darkened during the relatively minor eclipse. The image was taken by a Slooh.com telescope in Spain’s Canary Islands.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse - Feb. 10, 2017

During the lunar eclipse on Feb. 10-11, the moon skirts just outside Earth’s dark umbra. Look for deep penumbral shading on the north half of the lunar disk.
