Its hue was created by sunlight being projected through the Earth's atmosphere onto the Moon.
The Moon turned a deep shade of copper-like red as it passed through the Earth's shadowShortly after 03:30 GMT on Monday, Earth's orbit meant that for several minutes our planet was positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon.
Its hue was created by sunlight being projected through Earth's atmosphere onto the Moon's shadowed surface. Those watching out for the resulting super blood Moon got the best view from 03:29 GMT, the moment the full lunar eclipse started and the event became visible in the Western hemisphere. In Europe, the phenomenon was only visible for some of that time because of the Moon beginning to set. But in the Americas areas under clear skies were treated to the full spectacle.
