Those who stayed up between 2 am and 4 am on Monday to watch the different phases of the blood moon were certainly not disappointed, and many were even able to take unforgettable images they shared on different social media sites.
The blood moon was visible mostly in North and South America, and people flocked to open spaces were they could better observe the entirety of the changes.
According to the NASA website, those observing the blood moon saw it change its appearance “from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and perhaps gray. The eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth, moon and sun are in perfect alignment, blanketing the moon in the Earth’s shadow. The United States, in its entirety, will not be able to witness a full lunar eclipse again until 2019.”
