Lunar Eclipse - Time Lapse video

The Winter Solstice on December 21st 2010 treated much of the world to a total lunar eclipse, as our planet blocked the sun’s light, casting a shadow over the whole of the moon. Kareem Brown’s Time Lapse film shows the eclipse, with four-and-a-half hours of time reduced to a minute-and-a-half sequence. At the moment of totality the moon appears to turn to coloured an iron red, as the only light reaching the satellite is the red part of the spectrum refracted through the Earth’s atmosphere.
