Good Morning Sydney

Rising before dawn on May 5th, Stephen Thorley
looked out across
the skyline of Sydney,
Australia.
And while a leisurely
lunar eclipse was clearly in progress,
from his
vantage point on planet Earth
the Moon set as the
total
phase of the eclipse began.
Still, before the setting Moon was hidden by the cityscape
he captured this striking image of a nearly eclipsed lunar disk
sliding past the beacon
and lights of
Centerpoint Tower,
one of Sydney's familiar landmarks.
So what's that star just visible above and to the right of the
reddened Moon?
That's Zubenelgenubi, of course.
