The West Midlands was treated to a phenomenon last night known as a Blood Moon.
Sky-watchers across the region watched on and in many cases were able to photograph the total lunar eclipse.
The striking visual was created as the moon passed through Earth’s shadow and resulted in something called “Rayleigh scattering”.
This is also what makes the sky blue and our sunsets red. It scatters more of the shorter blue wavelength light, allowing the longer red wavelength light to remain visible.
