APOD 2.6






On December 10th, a total solar eclipse occured. Many pictures were taken before and after the solar eclipse. This picture was taken over Shanti Stupa Peace Pagoda in New Delhi, India. The moon was tinted red, which was created by the sunlight first passing through the Earth's atmosphere which scatters blue light but refracts red light. Each eclipse has its own appearance as there are different amounts of dust particles in the air.
