Lunar eclipse in Asia and the Americas

A total lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon", is pictured from Gosford, north of Sydney, October 8, 2014. The coppery, reddish color the moon takes is made as it passes into Earth's shadow. The total eclipse is the second of four over a two-year period that began April 15 and concludes on Sept. 28, 2015. [Photo/Agencies]
