If its a total lunar eclipse why does one edge remains brighter than the rest?
I have been googling for an answer for a while and cant find it. Even pictures of previous total lunar eclipses are the same. Is it because that side remain closer to the edge of the umbra? Or is it caused by how light behaves; Or because the surface of the moon is more reflective on that part.
I think it does. Thanks.
So in other words; That side of the moon is closer to the edge of earths shadow. Correct?
Yes.
