Eclipsed Moon in the Morning
This image, taken in Iran, shows the very beginnings of a lunar eclipse to happen on December 10. The excitement in seeing a total lunar eclipse is almost palpable in the astronomical community in the days leading up to the eclipse, particularly in areas where the eclipse will be fully viewable. What many people don't realize is that, as seen here, the moon and in so the eclipse are both visible in the early morning as well as night so even if you are not able to see the full eclipse from your location, the chances are that you will at least be able to see part of it at some point. There's a sort of rugged beauty that this picture captures, much like that of the moon, that is all too often overlooked.
