This special lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes precisely between the Sun and the Moon, and sunlight bends around the Earth giving the moon an incredible red glow. . ? by Ken Kennedy from the Dundee Astronomical Society. . . . . . #dundee #astronomy #astroworld #astronomyfacts #astronomynerd #astronomylover #spacephotography #spacephoto #spacelovers #moon #moonlight #moon_of_the_day #moonlover #moonlovers #observatory
