Blood-moon-main

Monday night's Blood Moon didn't disappoint astronomy fans.

The total lunar eclipse occurred when the moon entered the Earth's shadow in an event that is actually pretty rare. Light from the sun scattered about the atmosphere, casting a reddish hue on the lunar surface. The event was visible with the naked eye in most parts of the Western Hemisphere, but some great photos came in from around the world.
