This serene sand and skyscape finds the Dune of Pilat on the coast of France still in Earth's shadow during the early morning hours of May 16. Extending into space, the planet's dark umbral shadow covered the Moon on that date. From that location the total phase of a lunar eclipse had begun before moonset. Still in sunlight though, the International Space Station crossed from the western horizon and Earth's largest artificial moon traced the bright flat arc through the sky over 400 km above. Simply constructed, the well-planned panoramic scene was captured over a 5 minutes in a series of consecutive images.?

5月16日凌晨，這片寧靜的沙灘和天空中，法國海岸的比拉特沙丘仍在地球的陰影中。在那一天，這顆行星的深色本影一直延伸到太空，遮住了月球。從這個(gè)位置上看，月食的整個(gè)階段在月落之前就開始了。盡管仍在陽光下，國際空間站從西方地平線穿過，地球上最大的人造衛(wèi)星在400公里以上的天空中劃出了明亮的平弧。簡單的構(gòu)造，精心規(guī)劃的全景場景是在5分鐘內(nèi)拍攝的一系列連續(xù)圖像。
