An event only witnessed every 30 years took place in the early hours of Monday morning as the moon turned red.
It was 14 per cent bigger in diameter than usual and at around 3.30am was at its peak across Chester.
During the eclipse, the sun’s rays will bend around the Earth and the light will appear red or copper to the naked eye.
A Blood Moon is regarded by some to be a sign of the apocalypse as they believe it is linked to tidal waves, volcano eruptions and earthquakes.
The reddish colour during total lunar eclipse is a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering.
It is the same process that is responsible for causing colourful sunrises and sunsets and gives us a blue sky.
