It's just a phase
The final full moon of 2010 concided both with the winter solstice and a total lunar eclipse viewable from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and the surrounding communities. This compilation of photos shows the full moon and traces its changes as the Earth's shadow darkens its face throughout the night of Dec. 20. When fully in the shadow, the moon turned red until it began emerging later that night. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration/John Pennell)
