                        A Total Lunar Eclipse Over Uruguay   
                    Video Credit & Copyright: Mauricio Salazar   
      
      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.
