Lunar Spiral
Humans have been observing and recording celestial events for thousands of years, with lunar eclipses holding a special fascination for us. This total eclipse was designated a ‘blood moon’ due to the reddish hue cast from Earth’s shadow and atmosphere. It was also a supermoon, so called because it appears larger than usual in our sky due to its close proximity to earth.

August 2026 lunar eclipse: Everything you need to know about the 96% 'blood moon'

A deep partial lunar eclipse on August 27-28, 2026, will be visible in North America and will be the best lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028.

Out and About – Night Sky

Here are a few images of the night sky that I have collected as of late 2024. Included are some Aurora shots, two different comets, a lunar eclipse, the Milky Way and some light pillars.

Northern Lights in September 2004, seen by the Monolith at Vigelandsparken in Oslo Some purples and greens behind a group of girls in the park A bit of the Milky Way in October of 2024, seen over cabins high above Voss in Norway
(we can’t see the galactic core here at this time of year) Looking the other way, I think I caught Pleiades near the top of the sky and Jupiter is the bright light On 15 October 2024, we went out to find Comen Tsuchinshan-ATLAS from our neighborhood in Oslo
(Clear skies and a fairly bright comet made it easy enough to find with help of a sky map on my phone — and my better half could see it by eye via binoculars) On 31 October 2025, we went to a nearby beach, Hvervenbukta, to attempt to find the Comet A6-Lemmon
(Cloudy skies and a much fainter comet made it much more difficult to “see”– can you find it?) On 7 September 2025, the lunar eclipse was just starting to end by the time the moon finally appeared over the hilly horizon of our neighborhood in Oslo Just a normal moon, but with a bit of earthshine along with that waxing crescent An almost full moon, caught in some tree branches On a cold night back in January, the ice crystals in the atmosphere reflected lights from the ground into light pillars
(I thought at first it was some sort of bizarre albino Aurora…silly me!) #AuroraBorealis #LightPillars #LunarEclipse #MilkyWay #Moon #NightSky #NorthernLights #Norway #Oslo #Photoblog #Photography
Lunar Eclipse | Kigali, Rwanda
September 7, 2025 🌑

This image has taken on new meaning after watching the Artemis II lunar flyby. The same Moon I photographed here is now part of a renewed human journey into deep space.

As a Nikon shooter, I love that NASA uses Nikon cameras on missions like this. It creates a personal connection between Earth and space.

This lunar eclipse was captured from Kigali, Rwanda, on Sept 7, 2025, not during Artemis II, but it’s the same Moon that astronauts just flew around. 🌕✨ 🖼️ Prints: mlyonphotography.darkroom.com/products/180... 🎟️ Code LUNAR2026 for 10% off #ArtemisII #LunarEclipse #NASA #Astrophotography

"The Twin Moons are both at their fullest at the same time roughly every four years - it's a time of merryment and celebration. For the sky is lit day and night, the darkness cannot creep up on you... Until both moons are eclipsed at the same time. Undoubtedly an omen of bad things to happen!"

Nevan is a character of mine, that hasn't had much time to shine yet, he's a wraith wearing a fox-carcass-suit. I like to call him "Zombie Fox" even though it's not entirely accurate. But it gets the gist across well enough to people who didn't have contact with this story yet.

He's in a precarious position, as he's perpetually driven by hunger, more intensely when he leaves the carcass. It certainly gives him a threatening demeanor. Add some red mood-lighting from a lunar eclipse et voila!

The deeper the Moon dips into the Earth's umbra during a total #LunarEclipse the darker it gets - but the correlation isn't that good and more factors are in play (which are difficult to determine because eclipses - with good data - are so rare).
