A “blood moon” was visible from Earth yesterday evening, marking the first total lunar eclipse since 2022.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full Moon passes directly through the Earth's shadow, giving our planet's natural satellite a reddish, bloody hue – a phenomenon commonly referred to as a blood moon.
Skywatchers across America captured images of the unusual event as the Moon completed its lunar phase on Thursday evening and Friday morning (March 13-14).
