ST. LOUIS -- The Super Blue Blood Moon lunar eclipse has come and gone.
Even though it was just a partial eclipse for Houston, it was still an awesome sight on a cloudless morning. Other parts of the country got a view of the full eclipse, which you can see in the photos and video below.
The total lunar eclipse makes the moon appear red, thus a "blood moon."

The blue moon refers to the second full moon in a single calendar month, reports USA TODAY. The supermoon is when a full moon is at its closest point in orbit to Earth.
The eclipse lasted about 3.5 hours, beginning at 5:48 a.m. Houston time..
This is the first such lunar trifecta visible from the U.S. since 1866.
