Against the glowing golden façade of the Burj Khalifa, the Moon’s deep crimson shade created a striking contrast before the tower dramatically shifted to blue, intensifying the spectacle. Moon’s Path Over Burj Khalifa The timelapse compresses the hours-long eclipse into seconds, revealing the Moon’s transition from total eclipse to partial illumination.
