APOD 1.7

This picture is just awe inspiring, it shows a beautiful coast; hovering above is more magnificent than the atmosphere, it is a moon eclipsing. This picture was taken off the Chilean coast. The sun is still able to be seen, while the moon is enveloping it. An interesting fact is that in ancient times our ancestors were able to find out that the Earth is curved was because during eclipses, they were able to see the shadows of the celestial bodies ( Earth and Moon) were curved because of their shadows. This picture also is what some people would call a blood moon, this is because when the moon is fully eclipsed it turns red and looks like blood. To end this blog, this moon was eclipsed recently, it was eclipsed on October 8th 2014.
