NASA chooses Ibiza man's eclipse photo as Astronomy Picture of the Day
A PHOTO of the lunar eclipse taken by a man from Ibiza has been chosen by space agency NASA as the best in the world.
The picture, which is the work of José Antonio Hervás is titled Supermoon total lunar eclipse and lightning storm, and is in fact 200 photos of the moon at different stages cut and pasted together, showing the evolution of the recent eclipse over the sky above Es Vedrà.
“After a long night watching the sky, until the early hours, I've managed to achieve what I had in mind – and the bonus was the lightning bolts in the background,” José Antonio explains.
It has been picked as Astronomy Picture of the Day by NASA, with the caption: “What is stranger than a blood moon total eclipse? A blood moon total eclipse in an electric storm.”
