Skygazers from across the world were treated to a spectacular view of a blood moon overnight.
The moon turned a deep copper red colour in the early hours of both Sunday and Monday, ahead of a lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, moon and earth align, with the moon passing into the earth’s shadow.
During this time, the moon appears larger and brighter, creating a super moon.
Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse is caused by the earth blocking sunlight from the moon, casting a shadow across the lunar surface.
The spectacle only happens during a full moon.
The eclipse has been visible in countries including Greece and America.
People have since taken to social media to share images of the rare phenomenon.
