Parts of the country were lucky enough to see the clouds part and the Moon put on its stunning display. In the UK the total eclipse started at 18:30 BST and lasted until 19:52. It was only visible after the Moon rose which depended on your location. A partial eclipse continued until 20:56 and then a faint penumbral eclipse lasted until 21:55.

All these particles affect how much light entering our atmosphere is left to illuminate the Moon during a total lunar eclipse.When sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere it gets scattered in different directions by these particles. Colours with shorter wavelengths, especially violet and blue, are scattered more and consequently often removed leaving the longer wavelength reds and oranges to be refracted around Earth to reach the Moon. This gives the famous reddish-orange glow we see in a total lunar eclipse.When is the next Blood Moon?The next Blood Moon in the UK will likely occur at the partial lunar eclipse on 28 August 2026. You will have to wait until 31 December 2028 for the next total lunar eclipse visible across the UK.Here at BBC Weather we will keep you across the weather forecast for those events, nearer the time.More on this storyIn pictures: Blood Moon captivates sky-gazers around the world Published7 SeptemberWhy do full Moons have names?Published13 MarchComments can not be loadedTo load Comments you need to enable JavaScript in your browserCommentsJoin the conversationThese comments are now closed.3 commentsShowLatestOldestHighest RatedMost RepliedSComment by sniffershaw at 18:00 8 Sepsniffershaw18:00 8 SepThink I got dodgy information about the eclipse finishing at 7.52. Sat in a field until 8 but too cloudy. So then gave up. Turns out I could have caught an extra hour of the shadow.Reply20Show comment linksBComment by brian at 19:03 8 Sepbrian19:03 8 SepI challenge the authenticity of the image of the blood moon shown on tonight's programme. The full eclipse was not visible from the East Midlands last night.Reply20Show comment linksTComment by The sun is still shining at 18:54 8 SepThe sun is still shining18:54 8 SepSaw the full moon, looked normal to meReply20Show comment linksBack to toploading comments module
