APOD4.1


This is the moon. The Earth's shadow is projected onto it. Our atmosphere redshifts light and turns the moon red. One short exposure was taken to get the moon's features, and then a longer exposure was taken to capture the stars behind the moon. They are superimposed on one another to form this image, as the background stars would be invisible otherwise.
