Celestial and terrestrial lights are featured in this stunning image that includes the Moon in phases of the total lunar eclipse of March 3rd . In the foreground, the distinctively-shaped Eiffel Tower , over 300 meters tall, is a well-known tourist destination and one of the most visited buildings in the world. Of course the Moon is even more recognizable, but harder to visit . The last lunar tour was undertaken nearly 35 years ago, during the Apollo 17 mission .
