Sky-watchers across the globe are witnessing a total lunar eclipse, turning the full Moon red – watch live above
As the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow, it takes on a deep red hue, creating a striking “Blood Moon” – our reporter explains how the spectacle occurs
In the UK, the full eclipse began at 18:30 BST and will last until 19:52 but people will only be able to see it after the Moon rises – check Moonrise time where you are
Most of the Americas won’t be able to see it, but observers in easternmost parts of Africa, in the Middle East, most of Asia and western Australia should be able to witness the entire event
