Time-lapse composite of the setting full moon entering the Earth's umbral shadow, Alberta, Canada.


May 26, 2021 - A composite time-lapse blend of the setting full moon entering the Earth's umbral shadow, Alberta, Canada. Photographed during the initial partial phases of the total lunar eclipse, pre-dawn as the moon was setting into the southwest. This shows the moon moving into Earth's shadow and gradually disappearing in the bright pre-dawn sky. Totality began about 10 minutes after the last image at bottom right was taken, by which time the moon's disk was too dark and the sky too bright to be able to see the totally eclipsed moon. The moons are spaced at 5-minute intervals. The moon moves its own diameter from east to west in 2 minutes.
