Details:
At totally of the lunar eclipse on February 20, 2008, a little rim of turquoise appeared on the moon's limb near Tycho.
The earth's stratosphere scatters light and provides the red color we see during a lunar eclipse; the turquoise/blue is provided by sunlight going through our ozone layer which absorbs red.
The turquoise color on the moon has always been my favorite lunar eclipse detail.
