Did you see the Lunar Eclipse last night?

Last night stargazers got to experience the rare phenomenon of a total lunar eclipse that created a blood moon.

If you missed it, the next chance for the majority of North America to see a total eclipse will happen in March of 2025. There will be a total lunar eclipse in November, but your best bet to see it is to travel to the West Coast.

If you didn’t get a chance to see it for yourself, many of your fellow Georgians have posted photos and reactions to the eclipse on social media. Some of their posts are below. Scroll down to relive some of the magic.

Sung this last night while outside (luckily no one was awake so they couldn’t hear me) looking at the eclipse.

Still in awe I could see it in-person.

The song I listened to in bed before going to sleep and the first song I listened to today. #musicmonday #flymetothemoon pic.twitter.com/HCvfxuY9po

I love the moon even more when it’s going through an #eclipse because when you love someone, you have to love them even more when they are in darkness. You have to shine the light of your love on them 💖✨#lunareclipse #totallunareclipse #bloodmoon #fullmoon #lunareclipse2022 https://t.co/H1koaFntrQ pic.twitter.com/cdP5wmHbSY

There’s an Eclipse happening and I hope someone sacrifices something for the Braves season during it to turn it around.
