Briefly

Shades of a lunar eclipse
"When the satellite passed over western Alaska and the Bering Strait, at 13:00 Universal Time (4:00 a.m. Alaska Standard Time), the eclipse was in the partial phase. The scene is noticeably brighter than the earlier one, and light from the partially shaded Moon illuminates snow-covered topography and offshore clouds."
"The brightest swaths on the far right and left sides were acquired before and after the eclipse, respectively, with light from the full Moon."
