There it was in the night sky as Sunday stretched into Monday: a total lunar eclipse. Where people had clear conditions and unobstructed views, the moon took on a coppery red color. The eclipse took place because Earth got between the sun and the moon, throwing a shadow over our planet’s pearly satellite. The eclipse also marked a supermoon — a full moon that is at perigee, or much closer to Earth than usual. Some even called it the “super blood wolf moon.”
