The total lunar eclipse of 2001 Jan 09 was visible from Europe, Africa and Asia. Mid-totality was captured with a 30 second long exposure when the Moon was completely immersed in the Earth's dark umbral shadow. The Moon is bathed in a deep red light which is actually sunlight refracted by Earth's atmosphere.
