This movie shows the view of the total lunar eclipse on 29 November 1993 as
observed in the EUVE Deep Survey instrument. This movie is comprised of 30
minutes of data and has been color-coded from red (brightest) to blue (dimmest).
Due to its motion relative to EUVE (over 2 degrees per orbit), and because it
is only tracked every few minutes, the Moon moves around in the detector
field-of-view. The Moon begins as a crescent and ends nearly full as it moves
out of the Earth's shadow.
