Last night, skywatchers across the UK were treated to a spectacular display as a total lunar eclipse, often called a “blood moon,” painted the night sky with its eerie red hue. This rare astronomical phenomenon occurs when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that turns the lunar surface a striking shade of crimson.
The eclipse was visible from much of the UK, offering a breathtaking view for those with clear skies. Enthusiasts and casual observers alike took to gardens, balconies, and open fields to witness the moon’s gradual transformation. The event provided a perfect opportunity for photographers to capture the celestial spectacle, and many shared their stunning images online.
If you were lucky enough to catch the blood moon, we’d love to see your photos and hear about your viewing experience. Events like these remind us of the beauty and wonder of the night sky, connecting us all under the same cosmic canvas.
