A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, sun, and moon are almost exactly in line and the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun.

And this event was particularly special for stargazers (and photographers!), as the date coincided with the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 launching on its moon mission.

The eclipse began around 9.07pm and lasted until around 1.17am, with mid-eclipse taking place around 10.30pm, when around 60 per cent of the visible surface of the moon was covered by the umbra, according to the Royal Astronomical Society.
