Blood moon paints the sky red: Stargazers around the world look to the heavens to witness lunar spectacle for first time in 33 years

• During a lunar eclipse, the moon turns a deep rusty red, due to sunlight being scattered by the Earth's atmosphere
• The rare celestial event coincided with the 'supermoon' being at its nearest point in its orbit around our planet
• Some religious groups are convinced it is a sign that the End of Days is approaching
• Last time a lunar eclipse shared a stage with supermoon was 1982 - and the next will be in 2033
• Do you have any photos of the supermoon? Please email: pictures@mailonline.co.uk
