If you were up late last night and had clear skies in your area, you may have seen the moon turn red for a terrifying moment. No, it's not a sign of the end times (probably). Last night's "blood moon" was caused by a lunar eclipse, when Earth comes between the moon and the sun, casting a shadow on the moon's surface. Check out these pictures of sightings from all over the hemisphere.

It's cloudy in #Indiana, but that doesn't mean you can't get a live look at the #bloodmoon. http://t.co/UtXrRAJMro pic.twitter.com/KUTa5aPnfr

Share your pictures below, if you have them. But if you missed it, don't worry: The next lunar eclipse is in October.
