Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Mid Eclipse and Milky Way." The Owens Valley Radio Observatory is a radio astronomy observatory located near Big Pine, California in Owens Valley. It lies east of the Sierra Nevada, approximately north of Los Angeles and southeast of Bishop. It also was a great place to take in the total lunar eclipse yesterday. A radio telescope from the observatory stands watch in the foreground. Two separate exposures at mid-eclipse highlight the 'blood' Moon and the stars of the Milky Way. Separate frames taken five minutes apart show the phases of partiality before and after the total eclipse. Looks like it was a great night to watch one (we had clouds in NC).

Good morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and a remarkable image of the Lunar Eclipse from May 26, 2021... I found a short clipo from what was called a Super FLower Blood Moon over California in an amazing time-lapse of the eclipse... Although it was not the best vantage point, it did show the eclipse quite well even though there were clouds passing by in front of the Moon... It is still pretty awesome and I thought I would share it with your followers as it is a perfect adjunct to your Post...

The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, California captured footage of the lunar eclipse on May 26, 2021. The lunar eclipse is nicknamed the Super Flower Blood Moon for its combination of supermoon, lunar eclipse and May full moon.

APOD Background
"Explanation: May's perigee Full Moon slid through Earth's shadow yesterday entertaining night skygazers in regions around the Pacific. Seen from western North America, it sinks toward the rugged Sierra Nevada mountain range in this time-lapse series of the total lunar eclipse. Low on the western horizon the Moon was captured at mid-eclipse with two separate exposures. Combined they reveal the eclipsed Moon's reddened color against the dark night sky and the diffuse starlight band of the Milky Way. Frames taken every five minutes from the fixed camera follow the surrounding progression of the eclipse partial phases. In the foreground a radio telescope dish at California's Owens Valley Radio Observatory points skyward."
