Supermoon lunar eclipse as seen around the world

A swollen "supermoon" bathed in the blood-red light of a total eclipse is seen in Trébons sur la Grasse early on September 28, 2015. For the first time in decades, the double spectacle of a swollen "supermoon" bathed in the blood-red light of a total eclipse can be seen. The celestial show, visible from the Americas, Europe, Africa, west Asia and the east Pacific, will be the result of the Sun, Earth and a larger-than-life, extra-bright Moon lining up for just over an hour.

In this multiple exposure, the moon is seen prior to the Penumbral Eclipse starting on September 28, 2015 in Somerset, England. Tonight's supermoon - so called because it is the closet full moon to the Earth this year - is particularly rare as it coincides with a lunar eclipse, a combination that has not happened since 1982 and won't happen again until 2033.
