SHADOW PLAY
TLE-93-002

It's not always obvious during a lunar eclipse that the moon drifts through the dark circular shadow of the Earth being projected into space.  This composite of five images from the total lunar eclipse of November 28/29, 1993 shows not only the location of the Earth's shadow during the eclipse, but also its immense size―even at a distance of about 243,000 miles where the moon was on that night.
