Photos: Across the U.S., sky gazers marvel at the blood moon lunar eclipse

A full lunar eclipse is seen during the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Palm Springs, California, on Thursday.

As the moon moved through the shadow of the Earth, it was also being illuminated by light from the sun — causing the moon to appear as if dipped in a deep red hue in a stunning celestial sight.
