Lunar Eclipse casts red hue

Sunday night's Super Blood Moon was as spectacular as expected.
Touted as the longest prime-time total lunar eclipse this century, the event was visible across most of the state.
Called the Super Blood Moon because of its reddish hue, the phenomenon occured because some sunlight reached the lunar surface via the Earth’s atmosphere, allowing red wavelengths to filter through.
The collage was shot from 8:38 p.m. to 10:36 p.m.
The next total lunar eclipse will occur Nov. 7-8, and be visible from North America, Asia, North/Eastern Europe, Australia and much of South America.
