A "super flower blood moon" lunar eclipse took place across the world Sunday. 🌕 During the eclipse, the moon only received sunlight bent through the Earth's atmosphere, and changed color from gray to pink to orange to red. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the full moon and the sun. The Earth's shadow covered the moon, which often has a red color, hence the blood moon nickname. Although it's completely in the shadow of Earth, a bit of reddish sunlight still reaches the moon. Sunday's sky show was also the "flower" moon, a name given to May's full moon because "flowers spring forth across North America in abundance this month," the Old Farmer's Almanac said.
