So why does the Moon turn red during an eclipse? The Moon turns red for the same reason we see such brilliant colors at sunset. As the sunlight passes through the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, the light is separated into its different wavelengths much like a prism. Once the Moon is behind that shadow of Earth, the much dimmer scattered light becomes the primary light hitting the surface, giving it a red hue.<\/p>\n

When the eclipse is occurring, you need to use a much longer exposure in order to capture the detail of the Moon, so I used a roughly one and a half-second exposure during totality. This longer exposure also makes the stars in the background stand out, allowing for some spectacular shots. <\/p>\n
