PIX4579217: Total Eclipse of Moon 27 - 09 - 1996 - Total lunar eclipse September 27, 1996 - This montage illustrates the progression of the Moon in Earth's shadow cone. The image on the right corresponds to its complete entry into the shadow (beginning of the totalite), the central at the maximum of the totalite and the one on the left at the end of the totalite. During this eclipse, the southern pole of the Moon is passing a little above the center of the Earth's shadow cone. Thus, the southern pole of the Moon is the darkest, while the north pole is brighter. Note the color degrade for the right and left poses: from dark red towards the center of the shadow cone to white on the periphery of this cone, with an intermediate greenish orange degrade. This highlights the fact that blue is more diffuse than green by the Earth's atmosphere - hence the absence of blue on the image, because this color is lost in the Earth's atmosphere and therefore does not reach the surface of the Moon - and that green is more diffuse than red - or the absence of green in the heart of the shadow cone for the same reason as blue. This composite illustrates the Moon's progress in the Earth's shadow cone. The right picture corresponds to the complete entry in the shadow (beginning of the totality), the middle one to the maximum of the totality and the left one to the total's end. During this eclipse, the Moon's South Pole (the Moon's bottom in this picture) has pass a little above the Earth's shadow center. Then, the South Pole is darker than the North one (the upper part of the Moon). Notice the color gradient in the left and right exposures: from deep red toward the center of the shadow to the white in the shadow's outskirt, with intermediate orange greenish tints. It show that the blue is more scattered by the Earth's atmosphere than green, and that green is more scattered than red / Bridgeman Images

PIX4584755: Stellar black hole - Artist view - Stellar black hole - Artist view - A stellar black hole is born from the gravitational collapse of a massive star. The stellar black holes have a mass of some solar masses. A black hole is a region of space whose gravitation is so strong that it will prevent any form of material or radiation from escaping. A stellar black hole is a black hole formed by the gravitational collapse of a massive star; it is also a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing can escape / Bridgeman Images
