How #SuperBloodMoon looked around the world

Stargazers around the world were treated to a thrilling sky show late Sunday night, when a total lunar eclipse combined with a supermoon produced what social media users dubbed the #SuperBloodMoon.

According to NASA, it was the first time since 1982 a total lunar eclipse occurred on the same night of a supermoon — a full moon at its perigee, or the point on its elliptical orbit closest to Earth, making it appear bigger than usual. And it won’t happen again until 2033.

Photographers around the world captured stunning photos of the spectacle.
