Lunar eclipse over shuttle Discovery
BY JUSTIN RAY SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: December 27, 2010

NASA shot high-definition video of the lunar eclipse in the sky over Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39A where the space shuttle Discovery was uncovered from the gantry during preps for rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building. We took some frame grabs from that video to create this photo gallery.
