May's Lunar Eclipse as Seen Around the World (PHOTOS)

 Stargazers around the world headed outside to catch the total eclipse "Blood Moon" Sunday night into early Monday morning. The photos above showcase the spectacular celestial event.

During a total lunar eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon form a straight line in space, and the moon passes through the darkest part of Earth's shadow, giving the moon a reddish tint in the night sky. This "Blood Moon" effect occurs because blue and green light are more easily scattered by the atmosphere's dust particles, while red and orange light remains more visible, according to NASA.

The next lunar eclipse will take place on Monday, November 7 into Tuesday November 8 of this year. That one will be visible from North America's West Coast and have good views from Australia and southeast Asia. Like this past eclipse, November's eclipse will feature an 84-minute totality, making them the most balanced pair of eclipses in 430 years, timeanddate.com reported.

The best views were in South America and eastern North America, but the eclipse was visible in much of Africa and Europe as well as most of North America. Click through the slideshow to see Sunday's Blood Moon eclipse.
