Lunar eclipse

The Dalles photographer Gary Elkinton captured the partial lunar eclipse in the evening of Aug. 27. As explained by NASA: "On Aug. 28 (the evening of the 27th in some time zones), the Moon passes into the shadow of Earth, creating a deep partial eclipse. At the moment of greatest eclipse, 4:13 a.m. Universal Time, 96.3% of the Moon's disk is within Earth's umbra, the central part of the shadow where the Sun is completely blocked by Earth. This part of the eclipse is visible in the Americas (except Alaska and northwestern Canada), western Europe and western Africa (svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5672/).
