Near the closest point in its orbit, the second Full Moon of the month occurred on January 31. So did the first Total Lunar Eclipse of 2018, as the Moon slid through planet Earth's shadow. In a postcard from planet Earth, this telescopic snapshot captures the totally eclipsed Moon as it set above the western horizon and the Chiricahua Mountains of southern Arizona. The Moon's evocative reddened hue is due to sunlight scattered into the shadow. Still, the planet's shadow visibly grows darker near the center, toward the top of the lunar disk.

LUNAR ECLIPSE BY THAI FIRE SHOW Taken by Petr Horálek on January 31, 2018 @ Ko Samui, Lamai Beach, Thailand

While capturing the total lunar eclipse 31st January, 2018, over the Ko Samui island, Thailand, I experienced it by wonderful traditional Thai fire show nearby. In fact, many people were pretty surprised by the „orange in the sky“ as local news didn’t bring any information about that. So walking on on the Lamai beach with my camera, I was meeting both local people and tourists, longly staying on the beach and gazing in the not-typical full Moon so far. The surprise was even bigger for them as the Thai people prepared for them rich program of every-month „full moon party“, including these spectacular fire-men shows but… there was no full Moon over 4 hours! But with the bloody Moon over the human volcano, the show was definitely much more spectacular.

COMET C2016 R2 (PANSTARRS) Taken by Fritz Helmut Hemmerich on January 20, 2018 @ Tenerife Canary Islands Spain

Comet C2016 R2 (PanSTARRS). This photo shows the tearing of a cloud-like tail and the appearance of very fine spiral structures, apparently due to a violent rotation of the comet. These spiral structures became visible in the integration of 30 shots (blue filter monochrome) per 120 sec (Hyperstar 14, Starlight Xpress H36) and 120 shots (RASA 11, Sony A7s) per 30 sec. Captured betwenn 22:20h und 23:30h UT.
