Stargazers around the world received a treat on Sunday thanks to the rare celestial phenomenon of a blood-red ‘supermoon’ eclipse. A supermoon occurs when a new or full moon is at its closest to the Earth. Sunday’s was only the sixth supermoon eclipse since 1900. The next supermoon eclipse will occur in 2033.
