Penumbral lunar eclipse 2006/3/14

Notice the darkening on the right side of the Moon -- this is a penumbral eclipse, where the Moon dips slightly into Earth's shadow: so shallow that it never enters the umbra. Canon 300D with 300mm lens, resized and cropped. 19:00pm CST (2006/3/15 1:00am UT). From Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
