Total Lunar Eclipse: Minnesotans Share Images Of Sunday Night's 'Blood' Moon

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Conditions were great in Minnesota for viewing Sunday night's total lunar eclipse, and many snapped pictures of the celestial event.

The partial eclipse began around 9:30 p.m. and the maximum eclipse was reached around 11:11 p.m. If you wanted to see the entire event until the end, you had to stay up to 1:50 a.m. Monday.

During totality, the moon had a faint, reddish glow, as red wavelengths of sunlight filtered through our planet's atmosphere onto the moon's surface. This particular eclipse is called a "Super Flower Blood Moon."

Check out some pictures taken of the moon below. Share your pictures here.
