[MUST SEE] WOW!!! The Tuesday Total "BLOOD MOON" in the US [PICS]

• On Tuesday millions in America saw a total lunar eclipse in the skies
• That moon will return over Earth three times in the next 17 months
• Astronomers call the rare run of red moons a tetrad
• On September 15 next year, Britain will witness the spectacle

On September 15 next year, Britain will witness an extraordinary sight. 

High in the heavens, the Moon will turn an eerie blood-red —  filling the night sky with fiery radiance, as if Mars, the planet of war, has suddenly burst from its natural orbit and arrived on our doorstep.

This spectacular vision will be the culmination of a rare — and, in the eyes of some, deeply ominous — astrological event, which began this week.

On Tuesday, millions of people across America and much of the rest of the Western hemisphere saw exactly such a blood-red moon glowing above their heads for around an hour-and-a-half. That same moon will return over Earth three times in the next 17 months, making its final dramatic appearance over Britain.
