People around the world saw the moon turn a deep red as it went through the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century. While some caught the "blood moon" in all its glory, others were left disappointed by cloudy weather.

Thousands of people looked to the skies Friday evening in hopes of catching*I urgently need support and donations:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* a glimpse of a complete lunar eclipse that created a so-called "blood moon."
During the eclipse "the moon usually turns a deep, dark red because it is illuminated by light that has passed through the Earth's atmosphere and has been bent back towards the moon by refraction," the British Royal Observatory said.
The fullest eclipse, at 2022 GMT, could be seen from Europe, Russia, Africa, the*I urgently need support and donations:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* Middle East, much of Asia and Australia though clouds blocked the moon in some places.
The total eclipse lasted 1 hour, 42 minutes and 57 seconds — the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century — but a partial eclipse preceded and followed, with the moon spending a total of 3 hours and 54 minutes in the earth's cone-shaped shadow, according to NASA.

The lunar eclipse coincided with another special event — Mars being the closest it's been to earth in 15 years.

If observers did see Mars, it would have appeared as an orange-red star close to the moon.

While some stargazers were able to get a front row seat to the lunar eclipse, others struggled to see it at all.
Other efforts were hampered by poor weather conditions, particularly in the UK*I urgently need support and donations:Name:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank:FCMB in Nigeria,My facebook acct.:www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,Phone no.:+2349092171875* with many Brits expressing their disappointment on Twitter as clouds set in.
