Kazutoshi Kawakami - The Mystery of Lunar Eclipses
3rd Place
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can only happen during a full moon. There are three types of lunar eclipses: total, partial, and penumbral. Total Lunar Eclipse: The entire Moon falls within the Earth’s umbra (the central, darkest part of its shadow), often giving the Moon a reddish color, known as a “Blood Moon.” Partial Lunar Eclipse: Only a part of the Moon enters the Earth’s umbra, causing a portion of the Moon to darken. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: The Moon passes through the Earth’s penumbral shadow, causing a subtle shading on the Moon’s surface. Lunar eclipses have fascinated humans for centuries, often being associated with myths and legends. Today, they are a reminder of the intricate dance between celestial bodies https://www.instagram.com/kazutoshi_kawakami/
