Northerners capture stunning images of the Beaver Blood lunar eclipse
Stargazers in northern Ontario captured some stunning images overnight of the last total lunar eclipse until March 2025.
The 'Beaver Blood Moon' eclipse was seen in the clear, early morning sky on Tuesday, with the red-orange tint caused by the Earth's shadow.
Starting around 3 a.m. EST, the total eclipse happened between 5:17 a.m. and 6:42 a.m. when the Earth passed directly between the moon and the sun.
Lunar eclipses, unlike solar ones, are safe to view with the naked eye.
Jayden Restoule, of Dokis First Nation, took photos of the moon during the eclipse, capturing the reddish-orange hue.

"Clear sky, not too cold, very interesting," Marcel Heroux, of Timmins, told CTV News in an email.
He said his photos were taken between 4:33 a.m. and 5:11 a.m.
