Pictured here are the final moments of the blood moon total lunar eclipse just before sunrise Tuesday, with the moon slipping toward the western horizon at 6:08 a.m. At 3:04 a.m., the moon hung high in the sky, glowing a deep red at peak totality. As dawn approached, the color gradually softened before fading with the rising sun, marking the end of the eclipse. Courier photo/Peter Weinberger
