False colour image of the eclipse shadow at 11:30 UTC as seen from Meteosat 2. As in other false colour images created using visible and thermal infrared wavelengths, blue represents the infrared contribution and yellow shades come from the visible (actually, red) wavelengths. The dark lunar shadow, which has only a small visible light contribution, appears blue.  Image: EUMETSAT.
