See the blood moon total lunar eclipse

SMRTR summary

Tuesday's total lunar eclipse turned the moon a fiery red color as Earth passed between the sun and moon, with the star's light filtering through our atmosphere to create the dramatic "blood moon" effect. The eclipse was visible across Asia, Australia, and the Americas, with totality lasting nearly one hour, while the next total lunar eclipse won't occur until 2028.
