The United States was in a prime orbital position and time of day to view the
eclipse on April 15, 2014. Depending on local weather conditions, the public got
a spectacular view looking into the sky as the moon's appearance changed from
bright orange to blood red to dark brown and perhaps gray. The eclipse is a
phenomenon that occurs when the Earth, moon and sun are in perfect alignment,
blanketing the moon in the Earth's shadow. The United States will not be able to
witness a full lunar eclipse in its entirety again until 2019. This image was
taken in San Jose, Calif.
