A friend of mine Gene, posted the following description on his excellent photo ([http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewahrlich/1257513746/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewahrlich/1257513746/)): "The red colouring arises because sunlight reaching the Moon must pass through a long and dense layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where it is scattered.
