EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking capture by Ricardo Moraes, we witness the celestial dance between the moon and one of Brazil's most iconic landmarks, Christ the Redeemer. The ethereal scene unfolds during a rare astronomical event known as a total lunar eclipse, specifically referred to as the "Super Blood Wolf Moon". As darkness envelops Rio de Janeiro on January 21,2019, Moraes skillfully freezes this mesmerizing moment in time. The colossal statue of Christ stands tall atop Corcovado Mountain, its outstretched arms seemingly embracing both heaven and earth. Bathed in an otherworldly glow cast by the eclipsed moon, it becomes an even more powerful symbol of faith and hope for millions around the world. As our gaze shifts towards the heavens above, we are captivated by nature's spectacle unfolding before us. The moon takes center stage amidst a sea of stars; its surface transformed into a deep crimson hue due to Earth casting its shadow upon it during this unique alignment. This rare phenomenon evokes wonder and awe at our place within the vast cosmos. Moraes' expert composition perfectly juxtaposes these two monumental figures - one man-made and revered for its religious significance while another natural marvel that has fascinated humanity since time immemorial. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our connection with both earthly wonders and celestial mysteries – reminding us that there is beauty to be found when worlds collide.
