May 26, 2021 - Partial lunar eclipse in clouds.


Alberta, Canada - The total lunar eclipse of May 26, 2021 in the initial partial phases with it embedded in some thin cloud and in the brightening dawn twilight. The clouds add a glow of iridescent colors around the moon, with the part of the moon's disk in the umbral shadow a very deep, dim red. A subtle blue band appears along the umbral shadow line, usually attributed to ozone in Earth's upper atmosphere. The stars visible here are in the head of Scorpius.
