[peaceoutemogirl]

it stats getting lighter at 1:24 it looks cool and butieful

[aprado17]

Awesome! I realize the moon moves, but woulnd't it be possible to align all the pictures to make the video smoother? Just wondering... check my time lapses by searching "time lapse experiment #19", "time lapse experiment #21" or "aprado17" in YouTube. Cheers!

[3312cdfp5674]

he could align them in photoshop

[wawa2c4]

my favorite song ever, moonlight sonata, betholven, i can play it on piano, i love this song, so peacefull :B

[gwizzProductions]

good work! we see a different angle of the moon down her in Australia. I filmed the moon that night too but have not edited it up because it takes sooooo long to do. Well done to you.

[benblue3]

it was so fucking pro i saw it

[carminofornace]

Thank for that wonderful video.

Good job, I remember this eclipse, I saw it from Milano, Italy,

ciao

[xclusive1287]

apocalypse 6:12 AND THE SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR: AND THE WHOLE MOON BECAUSE AS BLOOD, JESUS CHRIST is coming

[yoitzkyleg]

i am a christian but for your information the earth has been turning red for many years

[xclusive1287]

the bible says a thousand years is one day for the lord

[qoana12m]

were was dis

[andrewthehedgehog911]

pause at 1:11. it looks like a face :D

but why does the moon turn red ??

[MentalLapse]

Andy, many people have had the same question so I listed a brief answer in the "sidebar". Hope it answers your question :)

[benblue3]

thats "the man in the moon"

[Jabbawockeez3451]

@andrewthehedgehog911 :I know it why it turn red first it turns dark then the sun reflect his shine on the moon and it turns red because the sun's color is kinda red,ok dont you got it

[yellowsmarties2]

Love it!!

There was a lunar eclipse last night but I missed it. :(

[clasygirl12]

Actually its not a lnar exlipse its a Solar Eclipse

[yellowsmarties2]

Clasygirl12, it is Lunar Eclipse.

Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between earth and sun. So basically, the moon blocks the view of the sun.

Whereas...

Lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through some part of earth's shadow. Which is show in this video.

[clasygirl12]

thank you =D

[clasygirl12]

Eclipse*

[kagomegirl92]

Very clear and beautiful. I love it when the moon becomes blood red! =D

[stardogged]

That was indeed some clever working with the camera and a beautiful result :D

[DBC396]

My family was on our trip back from SoCal and i looked at the moon and it was red

[Roncace]

beautiful! I can actually see a few stars when total

[TheContestCentral]

wowsa i bet you got SO tierd filming that but it is SO beautiful...

[topaz314]

gracias por el video ms hermoso de la historia gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AreaQNH870]

The earth would have looked like the most amazing golden ring from the moon

[RJWeb58]

Very nice.

[RJL738]

Very well done video. God is truly the master creator of the universe. It's God's majesty and beauty that is evident in events like this.

[droopy512]

if its 10;oo am pdt wat time is it in cali?

[erikmoua]

i saw this :) somehow i told myself to wake up around 2:30-3:30, then i looked up and saw wings flying across red moon

[nickardson]

I saw that one, this does it justice

[mrsimtaebin]

i was up all night watching this in cali too. it was breath taking to be able to see something like this with your own eyes

[bluregard7]

perfect...love it

[911emergencies]

Just amazing... and song just made it perfect... I've seen 2 lunar eclipse and one solar(live, not on tv or anything)... i would want 2 see the 1 happening on august 1st 2008... (just 2 make the scores even :-p)

[PLpartyMan]

Never seen such a thing. Amazing.

[Hitsugaya29]

there was actually a lunar eclipse in the past four months(i forgot when) but it wasnt as spectacular as this one.

[jeggernaut124]

ya i saw that one i know what your talking about. it was good but not that good(first time seen one).

[bc0864]

Uhhh...I don't think there will be another one until 2012. Yeah...so if you missed this year there isn't a next year until 2012. I am almost positive that I heard that. Anyway...yes it was even more beautiful to watch live and in person. No offense, this was great too, but looking up into the dark sky filled with stars and seeing this brownish red ball was an awsome sight. I have seen many lunar eclips but this one was definitly different.

[jeggernaut124]

let's just hope the story behind 2012 isn't true. f you don't know what i'm talking about then search "2012" in the search bar and watch the first vid.then watch the myth behind the crystal skulls. and, btw, no i did not get crystal skulls form that indiana jones movie. the movie was, in fact, based off of the legend of the crystal skulls. the crystal skulls are real btw. search it up on this here site and watch some vids on it.then wikipedia and google and such.

[cleanhastyhangover]

ughh! moonlight sonata! my favorite! this is wonderful

[airplanefreek247]

I missed it too. I was about to record the moon. I guess it was too late. Maybe next year.

[HoboSapien23]

lol i missed it. i looked outside 4 a few minutes and it didnt look like anything so it went inside. the next day my friend told me the moon turned red, and i didnt believe him until now....

[tat2queen7]

I sat on my roof, from 1 30 in the morning til about 4 30 to watch it happen. It was so fucking cool. I loved it.

[sabbath994]

me too

[DarkLorde85]

its true i see 2 UfOs though

[pheonixphire]

that was beautiful this wa sthe bets one i've seen. i wish i has seen it in person. thank youf or posting.

[Solow295]

Dammit! Ok....I was wrong. I forgot this is timelapse. It was just a planet or star passing by due to the earth's rotation. Sorry if I alarmed anyone......LOL.

[Solow295]

OK....look closely at 1:00 on the moon's 5o'clock position. There is clearly a UFO coming out from behind the moon. I saw this in a number of videos from this particular eclipse. Don't deny the alien presence.....we are NOT alone!

[WoWnic3]

But hey it cuold be stars lol

[KipKimora]

I love the video!

As far as i can remember i haven't seen a fully Lunar Eclipse.. stupid clouds..

[librarysleeping]

beautiful pictures and music. thanks for sharing both. well done!

[Nilmabostonrio]

Wow! beautiful.

[Werelion2367]

A moon the color of Blood (hears wolves howling in the distance)

[pooldar]

i come for the music, i stay for the sights

[B5FanMovieMaker]

the way i might say dis might sound stupid. But i seen a eclipse but exactly i dont know what it is. is it i dont know what is it i know it the moon but how do it change colors and how does half of it move away

[gratex]

sunlight reflects off the moon and bounces back to your eyes. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and Moon, the dark shadow you are seeing is our shadow travelling across the face of the moon. The colour change is due to some light filtering through our atmosphere from the sun. I think lol.

[xMonsterKx125]

wow yours was a nicer orange then mine...

[ovidiugr]

moonlight sonata, i wanted to add it to my lunar eclipse movie but... neeh. anyways, great movie. filmed the whole thing.

[LeAnLiKeMe805]

the music makes it seem like the world gna end!!!

[pooldar]

Yeah i agree, But its the best dramatic song ever, and it fits the video. 0.56sec-1.06 is nicest. all i can think about is the interview with a vampire movie.

[Donika852]

one is happening right now

[jw2113]

pritty bitchin isnt it

[yoimsomerandomguy]

1:38 is nice

[GreenerVideos]

bet few of you know why the moon turns orange.

[Scuglia]

it turns oranfe bcuz the sun goes behind it duhh

[CrazedSquirrel]

No actually, you're talking about a solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth goes between the sun and moon. The moon turns red because the passing sunlight scatters the Earth's blue light onto the moon.

[GreenerVideos]

no, the earths atmospheres bends the suns rays into the umbra, which then make the moon look orange

[zingymosquito]

ur an idiot, red is the longest wave length, and is the only one able to bend around the earth and hit the sun

[hayato10]

you mean hit the moon, right?

[zingymosquito]

yea, my bad i meant hit the moon

[jkjk3264]

lol zingy thats kinda what he said just a different way.

[plumadonkey]

that was amazing. thank you.

[bassplaya1549]

man that is beautiful

[chance6002]

so how long was the lunar eclipse???

[HenryFalkner]

Very well done. We had a ringside seat in New Zealand, but passing showers in Auckland. I got stills from the beginning to maximum occultation (SP-550UZ with x1.7 teleconverter).

[Mollythecool]

beautiful.

[T3lC0]

Really well done! Thanks for all your hard work!

[honeybee12873]

Now that's dedication. Yay!

[NyteShift6]

Amazing job! I wouldn't be able to stay up all night to make that...

[maxita21]

this music i love!!! moonlight sonata!!!

[CheesyJR]

absolutely incredible... nice job! The music fit like a charm in this.

[96sadketchup96]

its really great to see the things in life that many people would just ignore. your not living until you really expierience with nature and the world.

[leacrew]

I rmember watching that eclipse it turned exactly that color. It was kinda creepy but it was also very nice and peaceful. Very great song too.

[Zipper921]

omg i love this it is so cool

[harkatrules]

wow i love watching eclipses

how long did the eclipse last?

nice job!

[Nerdzofamerica]

The music went really well with the video

[jolenebfreeinak]

Beautiful. Thanks especially for the details in your "about this video"

[ashleysbigfans]

Beautiful. =)

[n4tti1c3]

Awesome!

[cgmsdh]

wow i so wished i could've seen that! thank you!!

wow your camera is just like my video camera, i can see the moon like that only closer and i tell you, it's amazing

[Poplopo]

That is incredible.

[mogdevnpop]

this reminds me of the heroes intro

[CoolioPig]

wow u r willing to do anything for ur fans =)

[MentalLapse]

Haha, actually this one was for me. I was born on a full moon so the moon has always caught my attention. I happened to look up when the next eclipse would take place where I live and it was like 2012 or something so I figured I didn't have to many chances to do this. YT and the eclipse just happened to coincide :)

[chaos694]

what was the song thing you played during this???????

[MentalLapse]

It's "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven

[CVF72]

very nicework for your first time with the moon. thanks for staying up all night to share this with us. really liked the choice of music. I found this through your "turkey" video, great job, thanks for sharing.

[firegoldx]

wow that must have been really tiring. good job =)

[yosam9]

Amazing 10 out of 5! how did you manage to capture this? its high quality any way thank you for sharing

[yoyoburrito101]

aweosme dude

i love moontlight sonata

[AndytoWood]

sweet footage, looks legit, pretty cool,

[Were have i heard that song before, i think it was on a tv show?]

[m1k3man]

why does it turn reD?

[MentalLapse]

The way I understand it is that what we see as white light is actually many colors (you see them using a prism). So when the moon is in the Earth's shadow, just like a prism, the red wavelength is the one that bends around the Earth and so indirectly illuminates the moon red. If someone has a better explanation please add it on :)

[m1k3man]

wow. thats an awesome explenation haha

[MentalLapse]

One other thing. If you watch an eclipse in person, the entire moon is visible the whole time. The white part of the moon is reflected sunlight and is just as bright as the sun from the cameras point of view. So the red shadowed area is washed out in photos until most of the moon is behind the Earth :)

[dearmalika]

that's wonderful, a great video!

[LukeMaster118]

my god that was.... AWSOME how did you get that footage i missed it!!! :( but i am glad you didnt miss it so i could watch it you are the best!!!!

[XoXcourtzieXoX]

wow thats is very amazing!

good job!

[wishybunny]

Awesome, it looks really cool. The music fits it perfectly.

[fangirl4ever2007]

fantastic! thanks for sharing :)

[REDHEADLADYBUG]

Increadible!!

[Empty1016]

That's cool. I would do something like that just so I could say I stayed up all night taking pictures of the moon :D

[Sharonxxx56]

awsome!

[Dlorezzz]

Beautiful video...

[Maddie1394]

that was so cool! you guys are doing great! Keep the videos coming!

[KINGDOMoftheORION]

Awesome. Creepy with that music but awesome. :)

[GoddessofBarefeet]

awsome..

I am subscribing!!

[mangobanna]

this is really amazing to see. it would have been waaaaaay to tiring to stay awake all night but i wish i could have seen it.

[MentalLapse]

What do you mean, if you watch the video you did see it, lol. And anythings possible with enough Mt. Dew. Thanks :)

[jetfighter2011]

Awesome.  Missed actual. Great Job

[phototaker84]

I know me too. It was cloudy out.

[xXxaznbabixXx]

totalyyy awsumm=)

[RSgiant]

I saw it in real, but it was verry cloudy :(

So, thanks for taking the time to make this movie :D, now I can see it without clouds :)

[AjaLinder]

that was so cool

[bigpurplecat]

OMG i play that song on the piano!!!!!

[hamboiz96]

lucky. i can only play the begining...

[icebarrage1166]

that was awesome!!!!!!!!

[Cremnlin]

That's amazing! I've never seen real lunar eclipse. You had to move the camera since the moon changes places in the sky, right?

[MentalLapse]

Thanks, and yes, the moon moves the distance of its diameter about every 10 minutes so you chase it all night :)

[MINTCOTTONCANDY]

SUPER COOL!!! On this day I was in the hospital with cancer. I wish I could have seen it.

[MentalLapse]

I'm glad I was able to record the event so you didn't have to miss it. I hope everything is headed in a positive direction with your health and I will definitely be sending positive thoughts your direction. Take care :)

[MINTCOTTONCANDY]

thanks! every thing did go well. cancer is gone! I could never gotten through it without positive feedback and prayers!

[MentalLapse]

Thanks for the update. That's wonderful news :)

[PantyMython]

Wow, thanks for posting that. I missed it, so It was great to watch it here!

[Berber127]

I missed the actual. Thanks so much for taking the time to capture this for your fellow skywatchers out here. Perfect music match!

[grislyoblivion6]

wow...awesome! jiji love it!!

[FootLongSub]

AWESOME VID! Thanks for postin' it:)

[xsaverS]

all i can say is this vid is edited. i think it is not the way the lunar eclipse occur seems that ur vid in the eclipse is very fast i think it take more than an hour to occur!!!! JUST KIDDING! good job

[synamis]

Thank you for filming and editing this eclipse with such care and then sharing it with everyone. i had originally intended on watching the eclipse as it happened, but my baby boy derailed my plans by deciding he wanted to be born in the middle of it. :) i plan on showing him this clip when he gets old enough to appreciate the coincidence of his birth.

[MentalLapse]

If you're going to miss it, I can't think of a better excuse.

Now how's this for another coincidence. I was also born on a full moon. He's got me beat with the eclipse thou, lol. Congratulations, and I'm glad I will be a part of your childs memories :)

[synamis]

Lunar eclipses usually happen at least twice a year, but aren't necessarily seen everywhere when they do occur. (For example, this eclipse couldn't be seen in Africa, parts of western Asia, etc.) However, this particular eclipse was the longest one in 7 years.

[sirswanlake]

very nice job...

good music choice as well

was this in North America?

My take was from Alberta Canada

[murphytime]

Wow! That looked awesome. I missed seeing it but now feel relieved that someone was able to capture the fine details of the eclipse.

[EvanRusenProductions]

where i live it was too early in the morning to see it but in december it will be our turn to see it around two and california will now be the ones who cant see it!

[18sonja]

where can i download this

[XjjdX]

Great Video! That must have been a long morning, constantly re-centering the shots. What NLE software did you use?

[XjjdX]

I just saw your How-To video on The Cube. Did you use that for this video?

[MentalLapse]

I didn't use the "cube". I just aimed the camera so the moon was towards the left side of the viewfinder and took pictures as it moved across the screen. As the moon neared the right side, I repositioned the camera and started over. Centering the moon was done in editing with a screen capture program.

[MentalLapse]

Except for the screen capture program (SCP), everything else was done with the basic Mac programs. I used "Preview" and the SCP to size and center each picture and "iMovie" to add the music and titles.

[Rowdyeh]

Nice, what camera and lens did you use?

[MentalLapse]

Thanks, check the sidebar. There's a complete description of camera and settings.

[bembem08]

Great video. Being on the 'wrong' side of the world, I totally missed this total lunar eclipse. :( But I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thanks a lot!

[FilipaneseShorty]

yay! another person from Cali! this has been the best vid of the eclipse i have seen so far, great job! and i love the music you picked for it! 5 stars!

[ekaluy]

Nice time lapse. :) Where was it taken from? I saw it pretty well from my backyard in Sydney. :D

[MentalLapse]

ekaluy, glad you liked it. I took the pictures literally on the beach at Long Beach, California.

[dodgechef]

Great post, and nice music choice. Thanks!

[MentalLapse]

Thanks dodgechef. It wasn't my initial choice but after sitting outside in the dark staring at one object all night, it just fit. One lone instrument played very slowly pretty much sums up watching an eclipse.

[squeedull]

Beautiful time lapse. I couldn't see it due to cloud cover, thank you so much for that. Gorgeous

[MentalLapse]

squeedull, your welcome. When I first thought about doing this, all I could envision was it being cloudy, but the weather in SoCal was perfect. Thanks for the comment.

[squeedull]

beautiful time lapse. I tried to wake up, but it was cloudy in Florida. Thank you so much

[ProDeoSolus]

really cool.

[ticklemelo]

Great footage, nice job.

[MentalLapse]

Thanks

[DrLemur]

Oh wow man. This worked out amazzzzzing. I wish we saw it so well here.

[MentalLapse]

This was the first time I ever watched more than a few minutes of an eclipse. It was well worth it but I just wish it could happen at a more reasonable hour, LOL.

[stev0071]

Wow, blood red is a fanastic color!

[MentalLapse]

Ya, the pictures came out better then the real thing because the moon was actually a very dark red.
