The lunar eclipse might have been partial — meaning the entire moon wasn’t covered by Earth’s shadow — but it was almost total, with just a thin sliver left in the light. If you watch carefully, you can see the moon take on a slight reddish hue.

The one-minute eclipse is a perfect way to get your fix quickly, but if you prefer to savor your celestial events, you can still rewatch the full Griffith Observatory stream and linger on the slow wash of our planet’s shadow darkening the moon.
