The incredible super blue blood moon made its way across the nightside of the earth and is now coming back to light.
NASA TV is broadcasting a special live feed of the blood Moon eclipse, from observatories across the US.
The 2018 eclipse takes place on Wednesday, January 31, combining three lunar phenomena: A supermoon, a blue moon and a blood moon.
In the live stream below, the blood Moon can be seen coming back into light after the breathtaking lunar eclipse.
The phenomenon was the first of its kind since 1866 coinciding with a blue moon and a supermoon, when the moon is at, or near, its closest to Earth.

NASA program executive Gordon Johnston said: “For the continental US, the viewing will be best in the West. Set your alarm early and go out and take a look.
“Weather permitting, the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii will have a spectacular view of totality from start to finish.”
Dr Daniel Brown, an astronomy expert at Nottingham Trent University added: “The term blood moon is actually quite misleading. The moon will become much darker and take on an ash-grey colour – there will be no extensive red colour.
“Calling it a blood moon is rather exaggerated; only after large volcanic eruptions would we expect a rusty red colour, which will not be the case this time.”
The expert revealed that the next blue moon will rise in March and we can look forward to the next lunar eclipse on July 27, 2018.
A BBC meteorologist explained each phenomenon and where the best place to view the eclipse was.
He said: “So, we’ve got something really cool happening tonight, and it’s a Moon trilogy. It’s called a super blue blood moon. So let’s break that down, start off with the ‘super’ part.
“Now, of course, the moon orbits the earth, in an ellipse, so sometimes the moon is close to the earth than other times and we call that the Perigee, and that’s going to happen through Wednesday night.
“So the Moon might appear a bit bigger and brighter than usual. The ‘blue’ part of that saying is that every month we have a full moon, but on some occasions, because of the lunar cycle we have two full Moons. So we call that second one a blue moon, here the phrase, ‘once in a blue moon’ because it’s quite a rare occurrence.
“And then the third thing is the ‘blood moon’. And that is because also on Wednesday night there is a total lunar eclipse, and that is going to make the Moon turn a little bit red.”
