 These pictures taken by NASA were informative and eye catching. Take a quick look. 1. In the very first photo, a composite made from ten images shows the progression of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse above the Vehicle Assembly Building, November 8, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Visible trailing the Moon in this composite is Mars. From left to right, the Moon starts off at its usual brightness and gradually becomes a dull red. (NASA)
