Did you see this morning’s total lunar eclipse? If not, don’t worry; EarthSky’s global community has got you covered!
On March 2-3, the moon slipped into Earth’s shadow and transformed into a stunning copper-red orb. This event was especially significant because it was the last total lunar eclipse until 2028. If you didn’t get the chance to see it live, here are some incredible images capturing the magic.
