In the wee hours of Wednesday forenoon on the East Coast of the United States , Earth ’s shadowenveloped the Moon in darkness , mark the first lunar occultation since January 2019 and one of two lunar eclipses we ’ll witness in 2021 . Not only that , but this eclipse took place during a “ Super Blood Moon”—making it extra - spectacular because the Moon was as nigh to Earth as it gets , so it appeared “ super ” big in the sky . And , to top it all off , the dang thing appear “ ancestry ” red due to Moon clouds raining the blood of the undead sunshine go across through Earth ’s atmosphere .
I say “ we ” witness it , but that is a Trygve Lie ; I , presumably like many other East Coasters , was fast asleep when this celestial show take on lieu — totally miss it . Maybe you saw it , but we did n’t . Thankfully , photographers around the world captured the Super Blood Moon eclipse for those of us too dog-tired to look outside simply because a cool affair was happening . For us — or anyone who require to make happy in the reverence - inspiring supernal heap — here are some amazing pic of the Super Blood Moon eclipse catch in emplacement around Earth where the eclipse was seeable .
