******On August 28 there was a total
eclipse of the Moon. This is when the Earth’s shadow falls
across the Moon. As the Earth has an atmosphere, the shadow
that is cast on the Moon does not have a clear cut edge so
the shading is gradual. The Moon turned a reddish colour
because of the dust in our atmosphere. If any other Scoop
readers have pictures of the moon send them in to
