Explanation:
September's
total lunar eclipse
is tracked across night skies
from both the northern and southern hemispheres of
planet Earth
in these two dramatic timelapse series.
In the northern hemisphere sequence (top panel)
the MoonБs trail arcs from the upper left to the lower right.
It passes below bright planet Saturn, seen under mostly clear skies
from the international campus of Zhejiang University in China at
about 30 degrees north latitude.
In contrast, the southern hemisphere view
from Lake Griffin, Canberra, Australia at 35 degrees south latitude,
records the MoonБs trail from the upper right to the lower left.
Multiple lightning flashes from
thunderstorms near the horizon appear reflected in the lake.
Both sequences were photographed with 16mm wide-angle lenses
and both cover
the entire eclipse,
with the darkened red Moon totally immersed in Earth's
umbral shadow near center.
But the different orientations of the MoonБs path across the sky
reveal the perspective shifts caused by the views from
northern vs. southern latitudes.
