A time lapse rendition of the full lunar eclipse on Dec. 21, 2010 - Solstice. The last time we had a full lunar eclipse on the solstice was in 1703. The next one will be on 2094. So it is a rare timed event. The evening was clear and was one of the best viewings for an eclipse in my area (North America). I only had my Sony Handy Cam Digital 8 camera, so was not able to get high def, but I did tape the whole event and this is real. The resolution is fuzzy in the beginning of the video, but gets clearer as the night moves on. Here is a 3 minute time-lapsed sequence of the 3 hour event. This is the real thing, no simulation!
