  • The full moon falls into total eclipse, becoming what is popularly referred to as a blood moon on January 20, 2019. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. A small amount of red-orange light, however, bends around the Earth and passes through its atmosphere, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, causing the moon to glow red during the totality phase of the eclipse.

  • A composite of six images captured from Seattle, Washington, shows the progression of the lunar eclipse on December 10, 2011. Captured over a one-hour period, the composite shows the Earth gradually passing between the sun and the moon. The eclipse was visible from eastern Europe to the western United States and is the last total lunar eclipse until April 15, 2014.

  • The full moon in a type of lunar eclipse known as a Super Blood Moon rises over Mount Rainier in Washington state. The total lunar eclipse of September 27, 2015 occurred when the moon was at perigee — its closest approach to Earth — making the moon appear more than 10 percent larger. While lunar eclipses are relatively common, it is rare for an eclipse to happen when the moon is at perigee. Such eclipses only happen about once every 20 years. Mount Rainier, an active volcano, has an elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), making it the tallest mountain in the Cascade Range and the highest point in Washington state.

  • Slightly more than half the moon is illuminated in this view of the night sky. Half moons are typically called quarters - first quarter and last quarter - and coincide with neap tides, the mildest tidal changes of the month. During neap tides, the difference between high tide and low tide is the least. The sun and moon are at right angles to Earth, weakening their combined gravitational pull.

  • The full moon rises over Nooksack Ridge in Washington's North Cascades just after sunset. The mountain is lit by alpenglow, a natural lighting phenomenon that causes mountains to glow white shortly after sunset and before sunrise.

  • Face Rock, located on the Oregon coast at Bandon, appears to gaze at the full moon. According to Native American legend, the face belongs to the beautiful Indian princess Ewanua. While several tribes gathered nearby to celebrate, she wandered to the sea inhabited by Seatka, the evil spirit of the ocean. He turned her to stone whlie she stared at the moon.
