    How is the moon eclipsing the sun at midnight?

    Unless you’re at one of the poles

    But why would a panther be at one of the poles

      It’s a lunar eclipse, the Earth is eclipsing the moon, preventing it from reflecting the light of the sun

        A lunar eclipse usually results in a red moon, since the moon is lit with red light from all the sunsets on Earth simultaneously

        It’s not in pure shadow, since the Earth’s atmosphere acts as a lens and bends some of the light inward towards the moon

            But it clearly doesn’t depict a lunar eclipse

        Oh right, the clean lines threw me off. Lunar eclipse shadows are much more diffuse.
