This is a long exposure photo of the March 3rd 2007 lunar eclipse. The photographer left his camera shutter open while on a tripod. The large line that gets slimmer and red in the middle is the moon. The reddish hue is common to lunar eclipses. The other trails are just star trails. APOD put this up in honor of the Lunar Eclipse that we didn't get to see due to clouds. Stupid clouds. The rest of the articles just comment on how lunar eclipses are watched by completely casual sky gazers, and well everyone, and that the next lunar eclipse won't be until December 2010. Suckfest.
