On Monday, a lunar eclipse was observed across most parts of the world, including parts of North and South America and Europe and Africa. A full lunar eclipse is also called ‘Blood Moon’ because it gives the moon a reddish tinge. This is a spectacular view from the earth. It is also an incredible sight from space.
Samantha Christophoretti, an Italian astronaut from the European Space Agency, is currently on the International Space Station for her second mission, Minerva. He has been in space since April 27 after launching the new SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. Freedom. Christopherty shared some pictures of his lunar eclipse Twitter.

The ISS is about 400 km (250 miles) above the Earth, so the Christophoretic view of the lunar eclipse is quite different from what we can see.
Christophoreti’s mission is scheduled for six months. He and other ISS astronauts do scientific research, maintain ISS equipment, and do spacewalks. This is not the first time we have seen incredible images of astronauts on the ISS. Last year, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet surprised us with his photographs of the incredible speed of the ISS, a 360-degree video tour of the ISS and a rare blue illuminated event seen from space.
If you miss a recent lunar eclipse, don’t worry, another will be visible in the United States and parts of Asia. November 8th.
The new Panasonic Leica 9mm F1.7 is sure to be small and beautiful, but is it a good choice for Micro Fourths users? Our team has the answer on DPreview TV.
It says Olympus up front, but the OM system OM-1 speaks of the future, not the past. It can still produce 20MP files, but the ambition of a quad-pixel AF stacked CMOS sensor, 50 fps shooting with full AF and genuine, IP rated, weather ceiling show OM digital solutions. See what we thought.
