Explanation: A setting full moon rarely looks like this. Monday morning just before a fully lit Strawberry Moon dropped behind the Absaroka Mountain Range near Cody, Wyoming, USA, the shadow of the Earth got in the way. A similarly setting partial lunar eclipse was visible throughout most of North and South America, while simultaneously the same partially darkened moon was visible throughout eastern Asia. Pictured in the foreground is a snowbank formation known as the Horse's Head off a tributary of the Shoshone River. Lunar eclipses occur about twice a year, and the next one -- a penumbral eclipse -- will occur in late November.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
Psalm 19:1-4
Psalm 19:1-4
Awesome, thanks for posting that; so appropriate. All of nature testifies.
Wow, wish I was there!
Damn, we’ve had a solar eclipse, Venus across the sun, and now a lunar eclipse in the space of a week. Sky watcher’s heaven that!
That photo took my breath away.
I really miss Wyoming. Used to have a place there. Wonderful state.
THANK YOU. This made an awesome desktop wallpaper on my computer.
You outdid yourself, Sunky! I’ve never been to Wyoming... wish I could. Looks rustic and so peaceful. Thanks!
