Total Lunar Eclipse | December 2011

This photo was taken in December 2011, in Antipolo, Philippines, during a total lunar eclipse. The moon appears red during totality and as it dims (in contrast to a bright full moon), the faint stars surrounding the moon becomes visible! Lunar eclipses happen every few years, and the next one will be on May 26, 2021, visible in the Philippines!
