Friday were treated with a total lunar eclipse, which turned the moon into a visible glowing red orb, often called a "Blood Moon." But thanks to cloudy skies and the need for sleep, not everyone was able to see peak illumination.

In the Americas alone more than one billion people in 35 countries could bear witness to the total lunar eclipse.

Pictures of last night's "Blood Worm Moon," a total lunar eclipse, show the full moon looking red in the night sky.
