On October 8th, 2014, upon sunset and moonrise, a lunar eclipse was seen from Chongqing. In this combo photo formed by multiple exposures, there is a string of gradually rising moon trails, starting with the dull-red totality of the moon near the horizon in the east, with the moon trials getting brighter and brighter with the moon slowly rising behind the colorful lights along the Yangtze River bank. The trail finally ends with the last contract, where the bright moon completely leaves the umbra of the earth. (Photo provided by the curator, and photographed by Zhou Yannan)
