Brief outtake from a news report documenting the moon eclipse, which took place on November 7th, 1957. The footage was captured at Los Angeles' Griffith Park Observatory. 
Description
Footage begins with people looking through telescopes, getting ready to see the eclipse. A chalkboard can be seen noting a few details regarding the moon, it’s distance from earth, its climate, and so on. A reporter is about to offer his report right before the final scene in the film, capturing the moon eclipse itself.
