Earth's shadow

This image of the shadow of the Earth is calculated with some pictures of the recent moon eclipse (03/03/2007). Each image of the lunar eclipse was divided by the image of the full moon (reference) to eliminate the variation of reflection light. The curve of light was then extended on all surface of the shadow. the umbra is to amplify 1000 times compared to penumbra. See in spaceweather

 

Technical Details: Celestron 8 + Nikon D70 digital camera.
