The Moon, appearing next to a statue on the Alexander III bridge, in a dim red colour, is covered by the Earth’s shadow during a total lunar eclipse over Paris, France. Sky-watchers around the world were treated when the shadow of Earth cast a reddish glow on the moon, the result of rare combination of an eclipse with the closest full moon of the year. The total “supermoon” lunar eclipse, also known as a “blood moon” is one that appears bigger and brighter than usual as it reaches the point in its orbit that is closest to Earth.
