Photo of the Week: Incredible Shot of Sunday's Lunar Eclipse

By BRENDAN KRISEL (Patch Staff)

On Sunday night people all across the United States were treated to a sight that hasn’t been seen since 1982 — the supermoon lunar eclipse.

A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon. The moon enters the Earth’s shadow, creating a reddish glow on the moon. (We’re actually in the middle of a cycle of three supermoons in a row. The first showed up Aug. 29, and the last will be Oct. 27.)

Dublin resident and East Bay photographer Heather Grimm shared this amazing shot of Sunday’s supermoon eclipse.
