Na sombra da terra

Full Moon in Earth's Shadow [Image Credit: Rolf Olsen/NASA] Sinto um grande turbilhão de sensações e desejos. Como se tudo me inundasse de uma única vez. E não é ruim, não é pesado. Não é desastroso. Sinto como se pela primeira vez eu pudesse simplesmente caminhar olhando para o chão, sabendo onde vou pisar. Eu sinto os ombros leves, as costas suadas do sábado a tarde. Sinto seu perfume que invade sem pedir permissão meu sono. Vejo o atalho que escolhemos não pegar. Ouço sua voz, lembro de sua risada. Isso me basta para continuar.

This sharp telescopic snapshot caught late September's Harvest Moon completely immersed in Earth's dark umbral shadow, at the beginning of a total lunar eclipse. It was the final eclipse in a tetrad, a string of four consecutive total lunar eclipses. A dark apparition of the Full Moon near perigee, this total eclipse's color was a deep blood red, the lunar surface reflecting light within Earth's shadow filtered through the lower atmosphere. Seen from a lunar perspective, the reddened light comes from all the sunsets and sunrises around the edges of a silhouetted Earth. But close to the shadow's edge, the limb of the eclipsed Moon shows a distinct blue hue. The blue eclipsed moonlight is still filtered through Earth's atmosphere though, originating as rays of sunlight pass through layers high in the upper stratosphere, colored by ozone that scatters red light and transmits blue.

Umbral Shadow of Fall Equinox

Umbral Shadow of Fall Equinox

Between New Moon and Fall Equinox

  A tall dark silhouette towers over me. I shrink and cower beneath its umbral shadow. As it looms over me, my lungs collapse. My bones shake. I feel weak in my knees and want to throw up.

No way can I stand up tall to this overbearing presence. No way can I breathe any air into my pounding chest. Dark gets darker. I see with eyes shut. This image is inside me now.…
