Millions of skywatchers across the world have been able to witness something that has not happened for 150 years, as a lunar eclipse coincided with a "super" moon and "blue" moon.

"Super" because the Moon was at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, "blue" because it is the second full Moon in a calendar month, and "blood" because the eclipse made it appear red.
