Early risers in North and South America were able to catch a glimpse of a stunning lunar eclipse Wednesday morning.
Those lucky enough to see the eclipse saw the moon turn a pale shade of orange-red, a phenomenon known as a "blood moon."
Below is an interactive map showing how the moon looked from different locations across North America. Zoom in and click on each of the icons to see the photos.
Here are some photos of the eclipse that were posted to social media from across North and South America. Click for photos of the "blood moon" from around the world.
