Description

During a total lunar eclipse stars near the Moon can easily be resolved and a timelapse will show the moon moving at a different rate than the stars (as expected), the stars are "fixed" and appear to move because the Earth rotates around its axis, but the Moon rotates around the Earth as well and thus shows a different rate of movement.
