SYDNEY: Stargazers across the Pacific cast their eyes skyward on Wednesday to witness a rare “Super Blood Moon”, as the heavens aligned to bring a spectacular lunar eclipse.
The first total lunar eclipse in two years took place at the same time as the Moon was closest to Earth, in what astronomers say is a once-in-a-decade show.
Anyone living between Australia and the central United States was able to see an enormous, bright, orangey-red Moon if the skies were clear.
The main event took place between 1111 and 1125 GMT late evening in Sydney and pre-dawn in Los Angeles when the Moon was entirely in the Earth’s shadow.
