In Pictures: The blood-red super moon

Monday, September 28, 2015, 9:11 AM - Sunday night's super blood moon had shutterbugs out in force worldwide, hoping to catch a glimpse of this incredibly rare phenomenon.

Not only was this a total lunar eclipse, when the full moon passed directly through the darkest part of Earth's shadow, but

  • It was visible, in its totality, from all of North America,
  • It was happening on the same night as the closest full moon of the year - the 'perigee' full moon
  • It was the final total lunar eclipse in a string of four - a tetrad.

Unfortunately, the clouds didn't cooperate for everybody. If you missed it, you can watch the replay below, and feast your eyes on the best super blood moon shots sent in by Weather Network viewers.

If you missed the show, or rain or clouds ended up blocking your view of this eclipse, or if you were in a part of the world that didn't have a good vantage point to see the eclipse, there's still a chance to watch it!

The Slooh Community Observatory hosted a live show via the web, starting at 8 p.m. EDT, Sunday, to highlight this Rare Mega Harvest Moon Eclipse. Host Bob Berman and Slooh astronomer Will Gator - along with a special guest appearance by Weather Network science writer Scott Sutherland - were online from start to finish, featuring views of the eclipse from numerous sites across this half of the globe, including locations in the U.S., the United Kingdom, and even a live report from Stonehenge.
