Eclipse 2018: How to watch the Blood Moon live stream again in case you missed it

The Moon occurs when the moon blocks all direct sunlight from illuminating the moon’s surface – but some sunlight still reaches the lunar surface indirectly, painting the Moon in a rusty-red, yellow, or orange glow.

The total lunar eclipse took place yesterday on January 31, as sky-gazers witnessed a Blue Moon – the second full moon in a calendar month – orbiting closer to the Earth more than usual.

The combination of the three moons created the spectacle of an enormous, rust-red moon seen from Australia, Asia, North America, Alaska and Hawaii.
