Sunday night was agoodone to keep your eyes on the sky.

The supermoontotal lunar eclipsewas seen by people in Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa and western Asia last night.

Last night this happened along with a lunar eclipse. That's whenthe moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow. This can give the moon a red tint.

Both events are rare.The next total eclipse won't happen until 2018, and the next total eclipse of a supermoon won't happen until 2033.
