ALL eyes were on the horizon on Wednesday evening awaiting the super blood moon to rise.
It was the second super celestial event of the year, after stargazers were treated to a pink supermoon in April.
Known as a total lunar eclipse, the blood moon was nicknamed thanks to its deep red colour.
"The moon will be just under the constellation of the scorpion. The heart of the scorpion is a red gold star called Antares, the rival of Mars. It will be beside the eclipsing moon," Hunter astronomy expert Col Maybury said in the lead up to the celestial event.
"Even to the naked eye, the floating red ball is eerie to behold."
