A blood red moon was visible for a number of New Zealanders on Tuesday night.
This was the first of four eclipses that will occur between now and the end of the year.
This lunar eclipse is known as a blood moon despite some poor weather around the country most areas of New Zealand were able to see the moon.

The event started around  7.45pm, and continued for around a couple of hours.
The red colour is caused by light passing through the Earth’s atmosphere and lighting up the moon.
