Summary: A timelapse video captures the full progression of the 2018 January Total Lunar Eclipse, showing the Moon change from bright white to a deep reddish-orange and then back again.
This stunning timelapse video documents the entirety of the 2018 January Total Lunar Eclipse. It begins with a bright, full moon against a star-studded black sky. As the eclipse progresses, Earth's shadow gradually covers the lunar surface, first appearing as a dark, encroaching shade. The moon then transforms into a vibrant reddish-orange hue, often referred to as a 'blood moon,' during the totality phase. Finally, the shadow recedes, and the moon slowly returns to its brilliant white form, completing the celestial event.
