In the wise words of Yello, "Oooh yeah. The moon is beautiful."
Western hemisphere skywatchers enjoyed front row seats to a stunning celestial treat Sunday night as the only total lunar eclipse of 2019 arrived in its full glory. An eclipse of similar caliber is not due again until 2022.
"Visible for its entirety in North and South America, this eclipse is being referred to by some as a super blood moon," explains Lyle Tavernier, educational technology specialist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "'Super' because the moon will be closest to Earth in its orbit during the full moon ... and 'blood' because the total lunar eclipse will turn the Moon a reddish hue."
The awe-inspiring event took over the sky for a total of 62 minutes, giving photographers plenty of time to snag incredible shots. So if you missed out on this one-of-a-kind stunner or are looking to relive the magic, check out their gorgeous work below.
