Partial Lunar Eclipse
On September 17, a partial lunar eclipse occurred and was visible from Utah. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth positions itself directly between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that partially or fully darkens the moon. This mesmerizing phenomenon offers a unique opportunity to observe the interplay of light and shadow in our solar system.
Were you able to see it? For those who missed the celestial event, we invite you to check out this stunning photo taken by one of our staff members, capturing the beauty of the moon as it passed through Earth’s shadow.
