When the Moon rose overSan Francisco's GoldenGate Bridge on May 15, both bridge and Moon were in alread in Earth's shadow.Of course, the bridge is in the Earth's shadow nightly, whilethe Moon only has that opportunity abouttwice a year, during a lunar eclipse.And even though in western North America the total phase of the lunareclipse began before moonrise, many in areas with clear skies came outto enjoy the spectacle.For this eclipse, skygazers reported a darker than normal,copper-colore Moon during totality.The dramatic color is evident in this multiple exposure of th reddened Moonrising, taken by astrophotographer Evad Damast.Damast viewed the eclipse from the Marin Headlands north and west ofthe famousbridge, looking back toward the bay and the citylights.
