The moon turned red in an event known as the blood moon after the eclipse of the moon – which was partially clear in the UK immediately before dawn on Friday.
In the UK, the moon had already been placed under the horizon by the time of the full lunar eclipse at 6.58 am, so the partial lunar eclipse was visible, and instead of everything, the moon appeared in red.
But the complete lunar eclipse was visible to people in North and South America and amazing photos were published from there.

“When the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, the only sunlight must pass that can reach the moon first through the Earth’s atmosphere.
“With the sunlight entering the air, the different wavelengths (and thus colors) will spread from light and wear them in different quantities. Blue light is a lot, which is why our sky is blue.
“The red light is often not affected by the atmosphere gases, so it travels throughout the way through them and leave the other side where it can shine on the moon, making it look red.”
