It was the first one in 30 years, so did you manage to get a picture of the blood red ‘supermoon’ in the skies over London and Kent?
The moon being near to its closest point to the Earth coupled with a lunar eclipse, when the moon is covered by the Earth's shadow, provided an eerie red spectacle in the sky during the early hours.
This phenomenon last occurred in 1982 and will not be repeated until 2033.
Anyone staying up to see the red moon was in for a "quite an unusual sight", according to Society for Popular Astronomy vice-president Robin Scagell.
Dozens of amateur photographers posted their best efforts on social media, although those taking pictures on their phones were mostly disappointed.
I saw it! And it was amazing! Trees blocking final moments of the eclipse now in #SE26 so back to bed then...#SuperBloodMoon #Supermoon

Unless u have an amazing camera the only way to truly capture #Supermoon is with your eyes in the moment. Something to think about...

Through the ages, so-called ‘blood moons’ have been viewed as ill omens by superstitious people.
Many believe this eclipse was significant as it marks the completion of an unusual line-up of four total eclipses at six-monthly intervals known as a "tetrad".

Texan pastor and author John Hagee says this has only happened three times in the past 500 years and claimed it is likely to herald a "hugely significant" world event.
