This lunar eclipse has thrilled astronomers from all around the globe. It was the first total lunar eclipse in nearly three years.
The Earth’s shadow took more than six hours to crawl the Moon’s surface.
Lunar eclipse is a rare phenomenon as Moon usually spends most of its time either above or below the plane of the Earth’s orbit.
Sunlight is refracted from the Earth’s atmosphere making the Moon look like Mars. According to astronomers it was like Mars has reached our doorstep.
