   Explanation: [5]Last May 16 the Moon slid through Earth's shadow,
   completely immersed in the planet's [6]dark umbra for about 1 hour and
   25 minutes during a total lunar eclipse. [7]In this composited
   timelapse view, the partial and total phases of the eclipse were
   captured as the Moon tracked above the horizon from Amundsen-Scott
   South Pole Station. There it shared a cold and starry south polar night
   with a surging display of the [8]aurora australis and central Milky
   Way. [9]In the foreground are the BICEP (right) and South Pole
   telescopes at the southernmost station's Dark Sector Laboratory. But
   while polar skies can be spectacular, you won't want to [10]go to the
   South Pole to view the total lunar eclipse [11]coming up on November 8.
   Instead, that eclipse can be seen from locations in Asia, Australia,
   the Pacific, the Americas and Northern Europe. It will be your last
   chance to watch a [12]total lunar eclipse until 2025.
