Its meant to be because light is being refracted by the Earth's atmosphere to the moon, only the red spectrum from the rest visible spectrums are getting through. Hence it looks red

Lol I was just confused as everyones pic is bright white

EDIT: was.

Wow. I love things like this.

Really makes you just stop and marvel at what is out there.

Very clear night and the stars are looking good. Seen Lunar eclipses before, but this is a very good one.

Been out there for a while now and once my eyes got used to the light, I was able, for the very first time to make out a very faint smudge running across the sky. I was quite chuffed when I realised it was the Milky Way. Not bad, considering I live in the middle of town.

A question for one for the more committed star gazers armed with a telescope or bino's. Is the second bright 'star' to the upper right of the Moon, Saturn? I know it's up in that part of the sky somewhere tonight, just not sure where exactly.

Is it wrong that this is one of the few things that has actually moved me to tears?

Im sure it's a good omen since this hasnt happened in the UK for 2 and a half years? Read that somewhere I think
