Monument Stars © Albert Dros Despite being taken during the Lunar Eclipse of 2015 the photographer actually didn't shoot the moon, but took the opportunity to capture the amazing dark sky that presented itself. Coming from a country (the Netherlands) with so much light pollution, this marked the first time the photographer had seen the Milky Way so clearly. The red glow in the sky is from the extraordinary atmosphere during the Lunar Eclipse, and the photographer remarked that it was, ‘An experience I will never forget.’ This shot is a panorama comprised of 3 vertical shots. Monument Valley, United States
