The best images of the lunar eclipse
From a spectacular blood moon to a cloudy eclipse, this is how the unusual astronomical phenomenon has been photographed.
BarcelonaQuite a spectacle in the sky. Yesterday, a total lunar eclipse took place, a phenomenon in which the Earth's shadow is completely projected onto our satellite. The eclipse—known as a blood moon for its red tones—was visible in all its splendor, especially in Central Asia. In Catalonia, it was visible from early afternoon, but in cities like Barcelona, clouds initially obscured it, making it a bit of a wait. After the eclipse, a spectacular full moon could also be enjoyed.
