The moon turned a deep shade of red in a once-in-a-generation lunar eclipse that stunned stargazers across the world.
The awesome spectacle - a total lunar eclipse - was first observable in the UK in the early morning from around 2.30am.
However, the 'super blood wolf moon' was visible for a total of five hours with early risers able to catch a glimpse as late as 7.48am.
The celestial phenomenon also took place over Europe, Africa and the Americas.
Stunning pictures showed the moon a shade of deep crimson in locations including Colombia, Miami and New York.
The peak time to see the lunar event in Britain was around 5.15am, however some had to battle cloud cover.
