First place in the 2021 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Total lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon moves into the Earth`s shadow. This is the case when the Sun, Earth and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned. The reddish light reflected from the lunar surface is caused by sunlight that has been refracted on its way through Earth´s atmosphere in the direction of the Moon. It appears reddish because of the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. The round shape of the Earth's shadow visible on the lunar surface was a proof for Aristotle that the Earth must be a sphere. This photo shows the eclipsed Moon that sets near the Rochetta di Prendera, Dolomiti Unesco, Italy, on 21 January 2019.

Image caption: ২০২১ আইএইউ ওএই অ্যাস্ট্রোফটোগ্রাফি প্রতিযোগিতায় প্রথম স্থান, বিভাগ মোট চন্দ্রগ্রহণ।
পূর্ণিমা যখন পৃথিবীর ছায়ায় চলে যায় তখন চন্দ্রগ্রহণ হয়। এটি এমন হয় যখন সূর্য, পৃথিবী এবং চাঁদ ঠিক বা খুব ঘনিষ্ঠভাবে সারিবদ্ধ হয়। চন্দ্র পৃষ্ঠ থেকে প্রতিফলিত লালচে আলো সূর্যের আলোর কারণে ঘটে যা চাঁদের দিক দিয়ে পৃথিবীর বায়ুমণ্ডলের মধ্য দিয়ে প্রতিসরিত হয়েছে। নীল আলোর রেইলে বিক্ষিপ্ত হওয়ার কারণে এটি লালচে দেখায়। চন্দ্র পৃষ্ঠে দৃশ্যমান পৃথিবীর ছায়ার গোলাকার আকৃতি অ্যারিস্টটলের পক্ষে প্রমাণ ছিল যে পৃথিবী অবশ্যই একটি গোলক। এই ছবিটি ২১ জানুয়ারী ২০১৯ তারিখে ইতালির ডোলোমিতি ইউনেস্কোর রোচেটা ডি প্রেন্ডেরার কাছে অস্তমিত হওয়া চাঁদটিকে দেখায়৷

Image caption: Primo posto al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2021, categoria Eclissi lunare totale.
Un'eclissi lunare si verifica quando la luna piena entra nell'ombra della Terra. Ciò avviene quando il Sole, la Terra e la Luna sono esattamente (o quasi) allineati. La luce rossastra riflessa dalla superficie lunare è causata dalla luce solare che è stata rifratta nel suo percorso attraverso l'atmosfera terrestre in direzione della Luna. Appare rossastra a causa della dispersione di Rayleigh della luce più blu. La forma rotonda dell'ombra terrestre visibile sulla superficie lunare per Aristotele dimostrava che la Terra doveva essere una sfera. Questa foto mostra la Luna in eclisse che tramonta vicino alla Rochetta di Prendera, Dolomiti Unesco, Italia, il 21 gennaio 2019.

Image caption: 2021 年国际天文学联合会 OAE 天体摄影比赛月全食类第一名。
月食发生于满月进入地球阴影时。这种现象发生在太阳、地球和月球的排布完全或非常接近一条直线时。月球表面反射的红光是太阳光照射月球途中，穿过地球大气层时发生折射造成的。较蓝的光由于瑞利散射作用消失，因此月球表面呈现红色。地球阴影在月球表面显示出的圆形形状，曾被亚里士多德用作地球是球体的证据之一。这张照片拍摄于2019 年 1 月 21 日，展示了被地球阴影笼罩的月球（月食）在意大利多洛米蒂山脉（联合国教科文组织世界遗产区）普伦德拉岩峰（Rochetta di Prendera ） 附近落下的景象。
