This image was taken by ESO Photo Ambassador Petr Hor�lek, and shows a partial lunar eclipse near its peak, as visible from the roof of the ESO Headquarters in Garching, Germany on 7 August 2017.
The entire Moon is turned red by its light scattering through the Earth�s atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bottom right part of the full Moon blends into the sky having entered the umbra of the Earth�s shadow.
