The Super Flower Blood Moon is in the middle of a lunar eclipse.

There was a total lunar eclipse that was visible to millions of stargazers across four continents.

The Super Flower Blood Moon was the longest total lunar eclipse in 33 years. It was visible, weather permitting, from a wide swath of the world that spanned the Americas, Antarctica, Europe, Africa and the east Pacific.

The full moon spent about 85 minutes inside the Earth's umbra, or darker, shadow during the lunar eclipse. In August 1989, that time was 96 minutes.

The penumbral, or lightly shadowed, version of the eclipse was visible to New Zealand, eastern Europe and the Middle East. The Blood Moon caught the attention of people around the world.

The eclipse was captured by another reader, who used a phone to take a picture.

A few shots of the beginning of the eclipse were captured. It is nothing fancy, but I thought it was cool that my phone picked up that much. The photo is below.

The peak of the Blood Moon was on May 16. The sun rises at 0411 GMT. The event ended at 1:45 a.m. The sun rises at 0555 GMT. The penumbral eclipse began an hour earlier than the total eclipse.

The art and science of the Blood Moon can be seen by people outside of the viewing zone, in cloudy conditions or otherwise unable to see the show in person.

The things that are awe-inspiring, almost spiritual, don't require modern technology, according to the astronomer Bob Berman.

As the Blood Moon shone live in remotely operated telescopes streaming live to Slooh, the company's director of curriculum talked about how light around our planet gets refracted and falls upon the moon's surface.

Fred Espenak said the full moon was a so-called super moon, taking into account the variability of perigees and apogees.

NASA says a supermoon occurs when the moon is within 10% of its closest approach in June.

The full moon turning red for a time attracted a lot of attention.
