November’s full moon—known as the Full Beaver Moon—offered stargazers a celestial show of historic proportions, as it coincided with the longest partial lunar eclipse of the century. And the photos they snapped didn’t disappoint.

Time-lapse photographer Levi Janssen, from Minnesota, who specializes in nighttime photography, arrived out in the field in Waconia two hours early to adjust his settings just before taking a dramatic time-lapse. Over the course of three hours, with one frame taken every nine seconds, he captured the Earth’s shadow gradually obliterating the silver lunar sphere.
