A combination of six pictures shows the rising supermoon in the sky in Frankfurt
A combination of six pictures shows the rising supermoon in the sky in Frankfurt, Germany, early morning September 28, 2015. Sky-watchers around the world were treated when the shadow of Earth cast a reddish glow on the moon, the result of rare combination of an eclipse with the closest full moon of the year. The total " supermoon" lunar eclipse, also known as a " blood moon" is one that appears bigger and brighter than usual as it reaches the point in its orbit that is closest to Earth.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking combination of six pictures captures the mesmerizing sight of the rising supermoon in the sky above Frankfurt, Germany. Taken early morning on September 28,2015, this celestial phenomenon delighted sky-watchers worldwide as Earth's shadow cast a reddish glow upon the moon. This rare occurrence was a result of an eclipse coinciding with the closest full moon of the year. The total "supermoon" lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon" showcased a larger and brighter appearance than usual due to its proximity to Earth in its orbit. The creative use of combining these images beautifully portrays the progression of this extraordinary event. As darkness envelops the surroundings, the serene beauty of nature is enhanced by this magnificent display in the great outdoors. The half-moon silhouette shines brightly against a deep blue backdrop while surrounded by an orange hue during totality. With no people present in this picturesque scene, one can truly appreciate and marvel at our universe's wonders. Astronomy enthusiasts were captivated by this atmospheric spectacle that exemplifies both scientific curiosity and artistic expression. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, taking moments to look up at night can reveal awe-inspiring sights that connect us to something greater than ourselves – reminding us how small we are in comparison to the vastness of space.
