My view from the Space Station of yesterday’s lunar eclipse. It’s a challenge to catch the moon up here – we don’t have any up-facing windows, so we can only see the moon for a few minutes between moonrise and moonset before it disappears above the ISS or below the horizon.

Yesterday was an extra challenge, dealing with low angle light bouncing through the multi-paned cupola glass, but JonnyKimUSA, Astro Kimiya, and I had a lot of fun chasing those fleeting opportunities, and got some cool views of Earth’s shadow on our natural satellite, before and after totality.

In the first shot, Earth’s shadow is barely visible on the moon. The distortion effect is from refraction as the moon sets through the lens of Earth’s atmosphere.
