The view of the Full Flower Moon through the Earth's shadow in the first lunar eclipse of the 21st century was spectacular for stargazers with clear weather.
The total lunar eclipse occurred as the full moon was near its closest point to Earth for the month. The result was a stunning sight for those without the bad weather that affected many along the U.S. East Coast.
The picture was taken by Martin Bernetti and shows a view of the Super Flower Blood Moon near its peak with a streak of green light.
Bernetti took this picture in Santiago, Chile, where the full moon views were unaffected by bad weather.

Ancient beliefs related to lunar eclipses likened them to a dragon eating the moon, according to officials at the observatory. The observatory held a ceremony at the end of the totality phase in which visitors rang noisemakers and chanted "Dragon begone!" to drive away the dragon and return the moon to the night sky.
