A total lunar eclipse, also known as Blood Moon, took place across the night sky from May 15 night to Monday morning, giving stargazers a dramatic, multi-part show. The moon began to pass into Earth's shadow around 10:28 pm EDT on May 15, 2022 (7:58 am IST on May 16) to 12:11 am EDT (9:41 am IST) to 1:55 AM EDT (11:25 am IST) on May 16. It had reached totality within Earth's shadow in roughly 2 hours and stayed there for some 85 minutes. The phenomenon is known as Blood moon as it turns dramatically red because the sunlight shining directly onto Earth passes through the atmosphere and is projected onto the moon.

"This same effect is what gives sunrises and sunsets a reddish-orange color," NASA explains. The Blood Moon photos are simply stunning.
