On page 08, there is a great picture of the moon passing front of a hydrogen alpha sun. But on the moon there is some red. Is this just an ink problem during production, or is this "real"?

Very poor image attached - take on phone in bed.

Its real  Or at least, its on the original picture taken by and issued from SDO. http://aerospace.firetrench.com/2014/01/solar-dynamics-observatory-sees-lunar-transit/

I just can't appreciate what it is.

It can't be a solar flare / prominence as it wouldn't project as far as the moon.

Reflection? Would the moon reflect hydrogen alpha light in that fashion, and just in the one place? Seems odd.

But thanks for showing me the original.

This looks like scumming in the printing process.

As I said above one post above yours, its not the printing process. Its on the original: http://aerospace.firetrench.com/2014/01/solar-dynamics-observatory-sees-lunar-transit/

Ah sorry

Could it be a little over zealous post production maybe?
