If you woke up super early this morning, then you might have caught a glimpse of the lunar eclipse, which happened just before dawn.

As the Moon moved into Earth's shadow, it gradually darkened before turning a dusky red, resulting in a spectacular "blood moon".

They don't happen very often - the last Blood Moon was in November 2022, but between this year and next, stargazers will be treated to three!
