Description

Barbara Bosworth focused on the moon as it was setting and moving through the shadow phases of a total lunar eclipse. The shadow of the eclipse started at 4:50 a.m.; total eclipse began at 5:52 a.m.; and sunrise occurred at 6:05 a.m. Bosworth had to close the camera’s shutter before the sun’s brightness washed out the image.
