SADLY, with the heavy cloud cover and torrential rain gracing Scotland and the UK last night, the blood moon was only a marvel to be witnessed on screens.
Skygazers had the chance to observe the longest blood moon of the century on Friday as the Earth’s satellite took on a reddish hue.
However, while elusive for most Brits, it was a marvel across the globe – beautifully captured and published in stunning snaps online from Greece to Norway.
