Caerphilly Observer reader Martin Sotelano sent this picture in of last night’s Blood Supermoon – a rare celestial combination of the Moon being its closest to the Earth with a lunar eclipse.
The Risca photographer caught the sight on camera at around 4am this morning, Monday, September 28.
The rare event, which last happened in 1982, won’t occur again until 2023.
According to the Royal Astronomical Society it was the first total lunar eclipse visible in the UK since 2008, and the last one visible in its entirety until 2019.
