The cosmic spectacle graced the world's skies 50 years to the day since three US astronauts blasted off for the moon.
A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes directly behind the earth and into its shadow, darkened but still visible.
It can only happen during a full moon and when the sun, earth and moon are exactly or very closely aligned.The partial lunar eclipse was also seen across the world, including here in Indonesia The event came on the same day that the world marked five decades since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins blasted into space for what would become the first moon landing.The mission was a huge moment for humanity and pictures were beamed around the world as Armstrong said those now famous words:"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".
