Stargazers across the globe gathered to witness a near-total lunar eclipse on Thursday night and early Friday morning.

Some parts of the world had a chance to see a rare 'Blood Moon', when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up in the night sky.

It comes just weeks after millions of people witnessed the most significant solar eclipse in nearly 30 years.
