Star-gazers in the right part of the world, especially across the Americas, were able to watch a rare celestial show on Tuesday as Earth’s shadow fell across the moon, shifting its colour from bright orange to blood red to brown, depending on local weather conditions.
This so-called “Blood Moon” eclipse was tracked by several professional and amateur observers across the globe. These are some of the videos and pictures they took of the spectacle.
The lunar #eclipse is over. Thanks for the great questions & sharing your pics with us! https://t.co/hlB91gutoo pic.twitter.com/QnM854YA1I
