Your photos: Blood Moon captivates photographers

The resultado da quina do dia 08 de setembroWest Midlands was treated to a phenomenon last night known as a Blood Moon.

Sky-watchers across the region watched on and in many cases were able to photograph the total lunar eclipse.

The striking visual was created as the moon passed through Earth's shadow and resulted in something called "Rayleigh scattering".

This is also what makes the sky blue and our sunsets red. It scatters more of the shorter blue wavelength light, allowing the longer red wavelength light to remain visible.

It is as though every sunrise and sunset on Earth is being cast upon the lunar surface.

We love to feature your photographs showing the beauty of the West Midlands and here are some of the best from the past week.

Upload your images via BBC Weather Watchers or email us at midlandstoday@bbc.co.uk.
