Eclipse at Moonset

This was taken near the Chilean coast on October 8th a rare picture to capture and just looks phenomenal. Here a lunar eclipse is occurring whilst the sun is setting. creating a seeming-less picture of a partial lunar eclipse and the sun being set upon. The moon is actually being completely shadowed by Earth, creating a lunar eclipse. This causes the light waves to react with Earth's atmosphere and create a crimson-ish  color effect. Before ever seeing this photo i thought this was impossible, a combination of a lunar-eclipse and the sun setting?! However, i now understand the fundamentals in which that makes this rare event occur. While the sun is setting, a lunar eclipse is occurring as well being overshadowed by earth creating this beautiful picture.
