Eyewitnesses have reported being stunned by a partial lunar eclipse visible from Asia and Australasia to parts of Europe and the Americas.
The partial eclipse began at 17:12 BST in South America and nearly ran out to sunset on parts of Australia. It was visible in the Pacific Ocean, but only half the moon was affected.
Astronomers say this eclipse was a supermoon, the second one in one month.
It marked the closest time the moon has orbited Earth in more than 120 years.
Eclipses are relatively rare, with only two occurring each year, the last in 2017, and every three or four years for regular supermoons.

Mostly cloudy skies meant the eclipse was best viewed from the eastern half of Australia and New Zealand, with viewers in parts of eastern Asia and the Pacific watching the partial eclipse when they arrived home.
Some people on social media reported not being able to see the eclipse due to the sky being too low on the horizon and poor weather in many parts of the world.
There was an excellent view across New Zealand and Australia as the partial eclipse approached its peak.

A second total lunar eclipse of the lunar tetrad, when the full moon can appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual, takes place on 14 April. The next full moon will appear on 20 November.
