Overnight, stargazers were treated to a stunning and unusual sight: a super blood Moon but people were not able to see the eclipse in most of Asia.
On Monday, shortly after 03:30 GMT, Earth’s orbit placed it directly between the Sun and the Moon for several minutes, putting the moon completely in Earth’s shadow and temporarily turning it a dusky shade of dark red.
The colour was created by sunlight being reflected off the Moon’s shadowed surface through Earth’s atmosphere and a super Moon occurred simultaneously with the lunar eclipse. This is the point in the Moon’s orbit when it is closest to Earth and thus appears larger than usual.
