Yesterday morning, on Oct. 8, Earth passed directly between the sun and full moon leading to the final total eclipse of this year.
The eclipse began at 4:17 a.m. EDT (1:17 a.m. PDT) and lasted through 9:05 a.m. EDT (6:05 PDT). If you were too busy in your bed, dreaming of lunar eclipses and missed it, don't worry.

Check out some of the amazing photos they took!
Between 2:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. PT, Russ Opdahl took a series of images from full moon, to partial eclipse, and finally to total eclipse. He combined the images here in this gorgeous compilation that ends with a brilliantly bloody moon.
Levi Santana, who is an amateur photographer in Quakers Hill, North South Wales, Australia, captured the lunar eclipse in its full blood-red mask as seen in the bottom right of the image compilation.
