This is the image of the total lunar eclipse captured on March 14, 2025, from Norman, Oklahoma. This image represents hours of careful planning and execution to capture the various phases of the eclipse in high detail. The composition highlights the gradual transition of the Moon as it moves through Earth’s shadow, revealing intricate details of the lunar surface illuminated by refracted sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere. The colors and gradients in the umbral and penumbral phases have been carefully processed to reflect the natural beauty of this celestial event.
