Lunar eclipse over moai statues on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in the South Pacific. The Moon does not shine by its own light,but reflects the light of the Sun. During a lunar eclipse the Moon passes into the shadow cast by the Earth. The megalithic moai statues were carved from volcanic rock by the islanders from 400-1500 AD. Many are now buried in the soil formed by centuries of erosion. Photographed at the Rano Raraku crater | |
