It is just crazy to think that the moon can be continuously up for 14 days at the South Pole. Since the moon never set, it just kept moving in a continuous line across the sky. It's a little creepy seeing the moon turn red along the eclipse sequence. Props to the photographer for getting such a good picture in -90 F weather. There is a little blurring from the atmosphere, but it is still a fabulous picture!
