Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) shows a feature of the moon during a lunar eclipse that I'd never heard of: a blue belly band. It is a real phenomenon, "but usually quite hard to see."
To make it visible requires some technology and, of course, the know-how of scientists. This process is explained.
This belt, waistband, cummerbund makes this event even classier. I wish it were visible to the naked eye. Ah, to see the moon red, white and blue.
