Night Sky of a Total Lunar Eclipse Seen from Cerro Tololo

This video was taken during the night of 13 to 14 March 2025 when the sky was embellished by a total lunar eclipse. The time-lapse captures the dramatically changing light before, during and after the eclipse. The light from the full Moon is so bright that the scene resembles daylight before and after the eclipse. Several glints from Starlink and other satellites can be seen.

A composite image of this total lunar eclipse was featured as a NOIRLab Image of the Week.
