A local resident from Penticton, Kate Hansen, captured striking images of the recent lunar eclipse, known as a "blood moon." She took the photos on Thursday evening as the full moon rose over Wiltse Mountain. Hansen shared her images in a local Facebook group, where they quickly gained nearly 1,000 likes. She used a Celestron telescope and her iPhone to take the pictures. NASA explains that a total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire moon is in Earth's darkest shadow, causing it to appear red-orange. This color is why it is referred to as a "blood moon."
