For the first time in 35 years, a blue moon synced up with a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse. NASA called it a lunar trifecta: the first "Super Blue Blood Moon" since 1982.

Though each of the phenomenon occurs with some frequency on its own, the combination of all three on one day is unusual. That combination won't happen again until 2037.



Netizens shared their time-lapse photos and video of the super blue blood moon lunar eclipse







Here are some of the most stunning pictures of the rare phenomenon from all over the world:
