The Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness illustrates the range of colors and brightness the Moon can take on during a total lunar eclipse and is a useful tool to observers in characterizing the appearance of an eclipse.
In this activity students will observe the Moon and make evaluations of the eclipse at the three times indicated on the Evaluate a Lunar Eclipse worksheet using the Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness.
