Turquoise Moon
by Henry Schilling

This is what is known as a turquoise moon. It happens just before full eclipse when the light is going through the ionosphere instead of the stratosphere giving the moon a bluish hue.

I picked this as it is more rare than a full eclipse image. hjs

Very nice image. I think the dead-on-center composition works for this.
