Tololo Totality
On Pi day, March 14, the Full #Moon underwent a total #lunar #eclipse, passing through #Earth's shadow. A composite image from Chile shows the eclipse phases with vivid colors and a bluish tint from ozone-filtered sunlight at the edge.

#Moon Pi and Mountain Shadow
A Full Moon occurs at 3.14 radians from the Sun, or Pi radians (180 degrees) in ecliptic longitude. On March 9, 2020, a full Moon rose as the Sun set, captured from Tenerife opposite the setting Sun and Teide's shadow. On March 14, 2025, at 06:55 UTC, it aligns again during a total #lunar #eclipse.

Here's a quick and dirty edit of one of the frames I got (the camera is still running lol)
Update: it was so quick and dirty that I didn't realize it was upside down (it's correct now lol)
The eclipse doesn't officially start for another hour or so, but here's the moon, if anyone is wondering what it looks like right now lol
The E-8 based Lunar Observatory in three scales are up now.

These models are based on the documents from @Nick_Stevens_graphics recent Sub Stack.

To celebrate the launch of Intuitive machines Nova-C Lander IM-2 Athens I created 3 Mocs of the Lander in 3 different scales. 1:110/1:42/1:20

Triple #oxygen isotopes of #lunar #water unveil indigenous and cometary heritage: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2321069121 -> "Our data support an indigenous primary water source for the Moon. This enstatite-dominant source may have been an initial reservoir from the Earth-Moon impact or a consequence of delivered materials in the early growth stages of the Moon. Cometary contributions are indicated by the extremely negative δ18O and positive Δ′17O values observed in our data" -> https://press.vub.ac.be/vub-study-reveals-origins-of-lunar-water-and-its-connection-to-earths-early-history

I was told it's "post a random game from your collection" Saturday!
The Harvest Moon at 03:45 BST this morning with the partial eclipse at its maximum coverage #HarvestMoon #PartialEclipse #Lunar #Northumberland #Seestar #ZWO
Tuesday night 9/17 is the Super Harvest Moon - nearly 3′ larger than average and this year it's also a partial lunar eclipse. It is the first and only time the Moon ducks into Earth’s umbral shadow in 2024. As you can see from the picture, this lunar eclipse is VERY subtle. In fact, most won't even be able to notice that 3.8% of the Moon will reside in the umbra at maximum. This will be most visible from 10:12 pm to 11:17 pm with the greatest eclipse at 10:44 EDT.

The #Moon Dressed Like #Saturn
Foreground clouds on #Earth pass before the Moon, creating an illusion of Saturn's size. The Moon's crescent is sunlit, while its Da Vinci glow is Earth-reflected light. Captured pre-sunrise on Dec 24, 2019, with Guatemalan towns and Pacaya #volcano visible.
