Skywatchers around the world have witnessed the longest “blood moon” eclipse of the 21st Century.
As it rose, during this total eclipse, Earth’s natural satellite turned a striking shade of red or ruddy brown.
The “totality” period, where light from the Moon was totally obscured, lasted for one hour, 43 minutes!
