There was an opportunity Thursday night to catch the March 2025 "Blood Moon," a phenomenon that colors the full moon in shades of red, orange and yellow during a total lunar eclipse.

Earth’s shadow will block most of the light that illuminates the lunar surface, creating what is known as a blood moon.

Early-rising stargazers in the UK woke up to a lunar eclipse just before dawn on Friday. The eclipse was expected to be partial for most of the UK, with the Earth's shadow only covering part of the Moon. In some very western areas, and across the Americas, a total eclipse may have been visible - weather permitting.
