Stargazers watched the skies tonight as a rare blood red supermoon appeared over the UK.
The eerie light created from a lunar eclipse with the moon near to its closest point to the Earth delighted amateur astronomers while filling others with dread.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon turned a deep rusty red, due to sunlight being scattered by the Earth's atmosphere.
Through the ages, so-called "blood moons" have been viewed as ill omens by superstitious people.
