Lunar eclipse stages, moon phases in the night sky.

Lunar eclipse stages, from start to end.

A series of images capturing the stages of a lunar eclipse. The moon, as it passes through the Earth's shadow, transitions from its normal silvery-white appearance to a reddish-copper hue. The sequence shows the progression of the eclipse, from the moon fully illuminated, through the stages of partial eclipse, and finally to the total eclipse, where the moon is completely within the Earth's umbral shadow. The image highlights the beauty and wonder of celestial events.
