The moon is pictured behind a ferris wheel on the pier in Santa Monica, California

The moon is pictured behind a ferris wheel on the pier in Santa Monica, California after a total lunar eclipse, also known as a " blood moon", October 8, 2014. The coppery, reddish color the moon takes is made as it passes into Earths shadow. The total eclipse is the second of four over a two-year period that began April 15 and concludes on September 28, 2015. The total eclipse is the second of four over a two-year period that began April 15 and concludes on Sept. 28, 2015. The so-called tetrad is unusual because the full eclipses are visible in all or parts of the United States, according to retired NASA astrophysicist Fred Espenak.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, the moon gracefully peeks through the intricate structure of a ferris wheel on Santa Monica Pier in California. Taken after a total lunar eclipse, commonly referred to as a "blood moon" on October 8,2014, the image showcases the ethereal beauty of celestial events blending with human-made marvels. The reddish hue that envelops the moon is a result of its journey into Earth's shadow during the eclipse. This particular event marks the second in a series of four total eclipses occurring over two years, starting from April 15 and concluding on September 28,2015. What makes this tetrad remarkable is that these full eclipses can be observed either entirely or partially across different parts of the United States. As we gaze at this photograph captured by Lucy Nicholson for Reuters Images, we are reminded of our profound connection to both nature and innovation. The juxtaposition between an ancient celestial body and an amusement park ride symbolizes humanity's eternal fascination with exploring new frontiers while cherishing timeless wonders. This mesmerizing snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling urban environments like Santa Monica Pier, moments of awe-inspiring natural phenomena can still captivate us. It invites us to pause and appreciate how our world intertwines with cosmic forces beyond our control but within our capacity to admire and cherish forever.
