Photographers gather to capture blood red moon in Tweed
UPDATED, 1.35pm Thurs: An eerie red moon loomed over Tweed Heads on Wednesday night.
Once clouds moved about 5.45pm, conditions were perfect for getting a good look and grabbing a photo.
Daily News staffer and photographer Karen Harper joined the crowded vantage point of Point Danger for a look.
"It was packed at Point Danger, there were heaps of people everywhere mostly taking photos on their phones," Karen said.
Karen said she had never seen anything like the moon before.
INITIAL report, Wed: A blood red moon will be upon us tonight, as it falls into perfect alignment with the earth and the sun, for a lunar eclipse.
The full moon will shine brilliant red, as sunlight will pass through the earth's sunrises and sunsets, to fall on its face.
The colourful eclipse is expected to first become visible in Tweed at 5:08pm, it will peak at 5:46pm, and finish by 6:23pm.
Some religious prophets believe the display could herald the end of the Earth, as a it's the first eclipse in a four part series of Lunar eclipses known as the 'Tetrad'.
Until the Armageddon, the Lunar eclipse can be safely observed without the need for protective eyewear.
