If the sky was clear, the rare event of a total lunar eclipse could be observed on Sunday evening. The moon appeared at times in a vibrant red, but also in a color gradient from pale pink to orange.

It was dubbed the"astronomical event of the year" in advance: a total lunar eclipse, also known as a"copper" or "blood moon." This rare celestial spectacle could also be experienced in Austria on Sunday evening. In the west of the country, the Earth's companion passed at 7:46 p.m.
