We had one in Asia last year, all I'll say is that 99% of people cannot take a decent photo of the moon..

It looks beautiful. Unfortunately my phone camera sucks so I can't take a good enough pic of it. Still saved one tho for the memories.

Not a cloud in the sky all day. It was blinding outside with all the snow and ice. Shortly after dark the clouds moved in. Ah well, I've seen a blood moon eclipse before. I'll see more eventually.

A real camera, a tripod to hold it still, and a very long exposure time, none of which a phone is good at.

I took a bunch that kind of demonstrate the shrinking of the bright blur, followed by a few of blackness once it disappeared. At least it kept me entertained.
