At around 8 a.m. EST this morning, our only orbiting satellite was completely covered by Earth's enormous shadow in a total lunar eclipse. The result was that the usually milky moon turned to fiery hues of orange and glowing shades of red. Millions of people all over the world set their alarms and walked to their windows, or to specially designated watching areas, to see the moon transform. Unsurprisingly, many of the best photos were taken in the crisp air of the countryside, where a clear night unveiled a beautiful but haunting crimson orb floating in an inky sky. Below, we present some of our favorite photos of this rare natural phenomenon:
1. Along the Michigan Coast
2. Illuminating ruins in Greece.
3. Spotted at the Cincinnati Observatory.
4. Eating Fort Worth, Texas whole.
5. Taking a leisurely city stroll.
