Blood Moon
A full Moon with a difference is captured in this image. Sometimes called a total Lunar eclipse, or 'Blood Moon', this phenomena occurs when the Moon passes into Earth's shadow.
For the same reasons the sky appears red at sunset, namely that red light is scattered less than blue light, the Moon is overcome with a soft red glow.
This picture was taken on 15 April 2014.
