When conditions are just right, and the Earth blocks the sun’s light from reaching the moon, the effect is both stunning and extremely rare. This effect is sometimes called a ‘Blood Moon’ and the photographer was extremely lucky to capture such a lovely shot, as this lunar eclipse in 2013 lasted only 27 minutes.
