2021 June 09 - A Total Lunar Eclipse Corona
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2021-06-09

In today's image, we see our Moon and the Milky Way in a combined image. Our Moon is in the process of being eclipsed here which causes it to appear redder as it moves through Earth's shadow. It is also the Moon closest to perigee (closest approach) which makes it the super-moon.
