Lunar Eclipse: View of Mars & Moon from Iran
Omid: "The Milky Way galaxy and the red Full Moon beside Mars on a calm night in Shahrud's Chah-e Jam Desert, created one of the most beautiful nights..."
Shahrud is a city and capital of Shahrud County, Semnan Province, Iran.
Situated about an altitude of 4413 ft (1345 m), it is located at latitude 36°25'N, longitude 055°01'E. Now, it is the largest city of Semnan Province. The main launch site of the Iranian Space Agency is near Shahrud. It is also well-known for unique types of grapes which are cultivated specially in Shahrud. Consequently, Shahroud is known as the "City of Grapes".

Lunar Eclipse over Malaysia
"Another incredible view of the Total Lunar Eclipse, called the 'Japanese Lantern'...a beautiful effect indeed."
Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy in Southeast Asia. It consists of thirteen states and three federal territories, separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. Peninsular Malaysia shares a land and maritime border with Thailand in the north and maritime borders with Singapore in the south, Vietnam in the northeast, and Indonesia in the west. Kuala Lumpur, officially the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, or commonly known as KL, is the national capital of Malaysia as well as its largest city. (Source: Wikipedia)

Lunar Eclipse: Saturn, Mars & Moon from Greece
Milky Way also visible
"The Pillars of Creation, Lunar Eclipse version!"
Constantine: "Last night we were blown away by the unique scenery of Buharia National Park found in Northern Greece and the event of the Lunar Eclipse going through these unique natural columns. I knew that we had a very interesting location selected, but when I viewed this, it was way more than I had wished for. You can see planet Mars (Aris in ancient Greek), Antares (instead of Aris in Greek, on the far right) and Saturn in the center, all under the mesmerizing light of the Lunar Eclipse."

Location: Buharia National Park, Northern Greece
Image Date: July 27, 2018
Technical details: "This is a panorama image made with a 50mm lens and a Canon 6D full spectrum modification. No blending and no tracking happened here and since the geometry of the 50mm is very near to how our eyes perceive reality, it is as close as to the real observation as it can be. The images were 10 second exposures at ISO 10000 and I closed the aperture from f/2 to f/11 for the totality image."

Understanding Lunar Eclipses | NASA
It's not often that we get a chance to see our planet's shadow, but a lunar eclipse gives us a fleeting glimpse. During these rare events, the full Moon rapidly darkens and then glows red as it enters the Earth's shadow. Though a lunar eclipse can be seen only at night, it's worth staying up to catch the show. The next lunar eclipse that can be seen all over the U.S. will be on Jan. 21, 2019. It will also be a supermoon. The January 2019 a total lunar eclipse will be visible in the Americas, Europa, Africa and the Central Pacific.
