Description
English: Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash. (Oct. 27, 2004) - The moon turns red and orange during a total lunar eclipse. With the Earth passing between the sun and the moon, the only light hitting the full moon was from the home planet's sunrises and sunsets, resulting in the orange and red hue. The next total lunar eclipse won't be till March 2007. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Scott Taylor (RELEASED)
