Photo of the 2019 Blood Red Wolf Supermoon Eclipse in Series taken from the South East Coast of the United States.
This is Photo Art / Graphic Design of a wolf howling at the fully eclipsed Blood Red Wolf Supermoon shining like a jewel in the night sky.
FYI - The reason for this phenomenon is actually less magical - it's caused by the Earth’s atmosphere. As sunlight passes through it, the small molecules that make up our atmosphere scatter blue light, which is why the sky appears blue. This leaves behind mostly red light that bends, or refracts, into Earth’s shadow. We can see the red light during an eclipse as it falls onto the Moon in Earth’s shadow. This same effect is what gives sunrises and sunsets a reddish-orange color.
A variety of factors affect the appearance of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse. Clouds, dust, ash, photochemical droplets and organic material in the atmosphere can change how much light is refracted into the umbra. Additionally, the January 2019 lunar eclipse takes place when the full moon is at or near the closest point in its orbit to Earth – a time popularly known as a supermoon. This means the Moon is deeper inside the umbra shadow and therefore may appear darker.
A most interesting fact - In ancient Greece, Aristotle noted that the shadows on the Moon during lunar eclipses were round, regardless of where an observer saw them. He realized that only if Earth were a spheroid would its shadows be round – a revelation that he and others had many centuries before the first ships sailed around the world.
Lunar eclipses are also used for modern-day science investigations. Astronomers have used ancient eclipse records and compared them with computer simulations. These comparisons helped scientists determine the rate at which Earth’s rotation is slowing.
Photography: You may have noticed, my full shadow moon looks different from other images out there. This is due to a little artistic prerogative on my part in my post-processing with the Hue/Color and overlaying a howling wolf. The actual hue was to me was an uninteresting almost yellowish-orange with a hint of red, so I bumped the vibrancy, saturation and curved the hue toward the reds in order to better illustrate the grandness of this phenomena and better reflect its name "Blood Red Wolf Supermoon Eclipse".
