Super blood wolf moon over campus
McMicken Hall cupola at the University of Cincinnati on January 20-21, 2019
UC photographer Jay Yocis came to campus at midnight January 20 to photograph the McMicken Hall cupola during a super blood wolf moon. That's a rare lunar eclipse in which sunlight passing through the Earth's atmosphere lights the celestial body in a dramatic fashion and turns it red.
Ever wonder why the moon always appears smaller in your photos than what you're seeing in the sky? It's a phenomenon called "moon illusion." In the above composite, the landscape was shot with a normal lens, and the moon was shot with a telephoto lens to illustrate a scene closer to how it appears to the naked eye. The untouched image below shows the difference.
