People in the Americas have been watching a rare celestial show as the Earth's shadow fell across the Moon.

The Moon began changing colour from orange to blood red in a total lunar eclipse, which unfolded over three hours from 06:58 BST on Tuesday. The Moon was fully eclipsed for more than 75 minutes and shrouded in a red glow from around 07:06 GMT.
