Stargazers in some parts of the world were able to witness a rare ‘Blood Moon’ lunar eclipse as the Sun, Earth and Moon lined up in the night sky.
The event was visible from selected areas of the globe, giving observers a chance to see the Moon take on the striking appearance associated with this type of lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon align, with Earth positioned between the Sun and the Moon. The supplied material describes the event as rare and says it was seen by skywatchers around the world where viewing conditions and location allowed.
The spectacle drew attention because such alignments are not visible everywhere at once. Only some parts of the globe had the opportunity to see it in the night sky.
The latest available information indicates that the eclipse was observed by stargazers in areas where the event was visible, with the notable feature being the so-called ‘Blood Moon’ effect during the alignment.
