1 month agoI knew about what causses the moon to appear red but I never really thought about sunsets/rises beyond “its the atmosphere refracting light”. That was a very nice explanation about them. Thanks.

I think it does. Thanks.
So in other words; That side of the moon is closer to the edge of earths shadow. Correct?
I get that, but if the moon is completely behind the umbra of earths shadow why is that it looks brighter on one side/edge?
Examples:
Not my pictures btw. I took them from r/astrophotography
So, the same thing media websites do when they ignore my “do not track” request?
Im not canadian but I think this is a bad idea. If they spend money on it they will want to control it.
So like the umbra has a “bright” edge compared to its center?
I think that was my mistake, I was thinking of the transition between the penumbra and umbra had a straigt edge when viewed from earth.
thanks
