   Explanation: This serene sand and skyscape finds the [5]Dune of Pilat
   on the coast of France still in Earth's shadow during the early morning
   hours of May 16. Extending into space, the [6]planet's dark umbral
   shadow covered the Moon on that date. From that location the [7]total
   phase of a lunar eclipse had begun before moonset. Still in sunlight
   though, the [8]International Space Station crossed from the western
   horizon and Earth's largest artificial moon traced the bright flat arc
   through the sky over 400 km above. Simply constructed, the well-planned
   panoramic scene was captured over a 5 minutes in a series of
   consecutive images.
