                     A Total Lunar Eclipse Over Uruguay

   Explanation: If the full Moon suddenly faded, what would you see? The
   answer was recorded in a dramatic time lapse video taken during the
   total lunar eclipse last week from Uruguay. During a total lunar
   eclipse, the Earth moves between the Moon and the Sun, causing the Moon
   to fade dramatically. The Moon never gets completely dark, though,
   since the Earth's atmosphere refracts some light. As the featured video
   begins, the scene may appear to be daytime and sunlit, but actually it
   is nighttime and lit by the glow of the full Moon. As the Moon becomes
   eclipsed and fades, background stars become visible. Most
   spectacularly, the sky surrounding the eclipsed moon suddenly appears
   to be full of stars and highlighted by the busy plane of our Milky Way
   Galaxy. Nearly two hours after the eclipse started, the Moon emerged
   from the Earth's shadow and its bright full glare again dominated the
   sky.
