The world witnessed a full moon on Wednesday (May 26) along with the first lunar eclipse of 2021. A full lunar eclipse coincided with a supermoon, which is when the moon is particularly close to Earth and appears brighter than normal. For about 15 minutes, when the moon moved fully into Earth's shadow, the moon appeared to turn red, known as a super blood moon.
