   Explanation: On May 26, the [5]Full Flower Moon was caught in this
   single exposure as it [6]emerged from Earth's shadow and morning
   twilight began to wash over the western sky. Posing close to the
   horizon near the end of totality, an eclipsed lunar disk is framed
   against bare oak trees at Pinnacles National Park in central
   California. The Earth's shadow isn't completely dark though. Faintly
   suffused with sunlight scattered by the atmosphere, the inner shadow
   gives the totally eclipsed moon a [7]reddened appearance and the very
   dramatic popular moniker of a Blood Moon. Still, the monstrous visage
   of a gnarled tree in silhouette made this view of a [8]total lunar
   eclipse even scarier.
