Those in the UK hoping to catch a glimpse of the blood moon had their plans scuppered by cloudy weather, so where should you have been to witness the event?
These pictures were taken in Melbourne, Australia, where the blood moon had no problems with visibility.

No issues in Rome – who’s that peering around the Colosseum? It’s the blood moon!

Here, the blood moon hides very poorly behind a house in Germany. We can see you, moon.

Switzerland got an eyeful of moon too.
Not bad for my first attempt at taking pictures of the moon, such a beautiful evening! #EclipseLunar pic.twitter.com/xtULa3MmJi

The moon was certainly pictured in some wonderful places. While Stonehenge missed out, the Temple of Poseidon in Greece did not.
Just took a photo of the #LunarEclipse from the @Space_Station. Tricky to capture. The slight hue of blue is actually the Earth’s atmosphere, just before the Moon is “diving into it”. #Horizons pic.twitter.com/X8r7puloQl
