{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. In this lunar eclipse viewed from
                Merritt Island, Fla., the full moon changes color because it is
                being lighted slightly by sunlight passing through the Earths
                atmosphere. The earlier reddish color is fading but still
                somewhat visible on the darker, upper portion. Eclipses occur
                when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up. They are rare because the
                Moon usually passes above or below the imaginary line connecting
                Earth and the Sun. The Earth casts a shadow that the Moon can
                pass through when it does, it is called a lunar eclipse.
