Super Blood Moon 2021: Rare celestial event caught on camera

Stargazers across the Pacific Rim will cast their eyes skyward to witness a rare ‘Super Blood Moon’, as the heavens align to bring an extra-spectacular lunar eclipse. The main event will be between 1111-1125 GMT -- late evening in Sydney and pre-dawn in Los Angeles -- when the Moon will be entirely in the Earth's shadow.
