Explanation: The beginning, middle, and end of a journey through planet Earth's colorful umbral shadow is captured in this timelapse composite image of a total lunar eclipse. Taken on November 8 from Kitt Peak National Observatory this eclipse's 1 hour and 25 minute long total phase starts on the right and finishes on the left. Reddened sunlight, scattered into the central shadow by Earth's dusty atmosphere produces the dramatic dark red hues reflected by the lunar disk. For this eclipse, additional reddening is likely due to scattering from ash lingering in the atmosphere after a large volcanic eruption in the southern Pacific earlier this year. Seen at the right and left, the Earth's shadow is still lighter along its edge though. That faint bluish fringe along the lunar limb is colored by sunlight filtered through Earth's stratospheric ozone layer.

Great video. I have seen Pink Floyd twice, both times at Tampa Stadium. The first time was in 1977 on their Animals tour. They played the "Amimals" album and then they played the "Wish You Were Here" album. Here is the playlist, April 24, 1977:

"Animals"

Sheep

Pigs on the Wing 1

Dogs

Pigs on the Wing 2

Pigs (Three Different Ones)

"Wish You Were Here"

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)

Welcome to the Machine

Have a Cigar

Wish You Were Here

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX)

Encore:

Money

I can't find the Playlist for the second time I saw them in 1987, but the entire concert is here:

PINK FLOYD 30th October 1987 Tampa Stadium, Tampa, Florida, USA

That would be cool if we did have 3 big moons passing each other at further distance out as to not cause big tidal changes.
