Early Friday morning, the Earth moved between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface and turning it into a full blood moon. It was quite early in the morning, though. Like 1 a.m.

A rare blood moon lunar eclipse — which hasn’t happened in the U.S. since 2022 — was visible for skywatchers across most of North and South America, as well as the west side of Africa and Europe, the eastern parts of Australia and Russia and northern Japan.

A winter storm obscured Utahns' view of the event, but photographers around the world turned their lenses to the sky last night.
