Here is a gorgeous follow-up to the winter solstice lunar eclipse that made all the news yesterday! Xie-xie to the Roamin' Ronin for pointing this out. The background:
Last night presented an ultra-rare treat for astronomy buffs: Not only was there a total lunar eclipse beginning at about 12:30am EST, but the eclipse coincided with the arrival of the winter solstice for the first time in 372 years.
Shooting from Gainesville, Florida, William Castleman created the above time-lapse video of last night’s eclipse, condensing the lunar action from 1:10 AM EST to 5:03 AM EST into 2 minutes.
Get an eyeful of this:
