The longest lunar eclipse of the century took place on Friday night and Saturday morning, as the moon was totally eclipsed by the Earth for one hour and 43 minutes. During this time, people around the world were able to see a "red moon" or “blood moon”, as the Earth’s satellite turns red. The video shows three different locations: the Poseidon's Temple in Sounio (Greece), the event in Teheran (Iran) and the bright blood red eclipse in the Roman sky (Italy).
Stargazers in North America, Hawaii, the Middle East, Russia, India, and Australia have the chance to witness a rare "super blue blood Moon", when Earth's shadow bathed our satellite in a coppery hue. IMAGES
