The eclipse as seen near the "Enlightenment Giving Power" statue by John Gelert, which sits at the top of the dome of the Bergen County Courthouse in Hackensack, N.J.

The Earth's shadow begins to fall on the moon as it goes behind a weather vane shaped like a Spanish galleon on the Freedom Tower in Miami.

A photo taken using multiple exposures in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui province.

The moon glows red as it rises during a total lunar eclipse as seen in Kathmandu, Nepal.
