Last night, the Earth passed between the sun and the moon, turning the moon a deep blood red and sending astronomy buffs to their cameras. As a bonus, this lunar eclipse was the first to fall on the winter solstice since 1638. The next solstice eclipse won’t be until 2094.

But if you missed it, there’s still plenty to look forward to. Starting in April 2014, there will be four total lunar eclipses visible from all

of North America in less than two years.

Here’s a sampling of the best shots of our rusty celestial sidekick from Wired Science readers all over the continent. Keep them coming, and we’ll update the gallery as we get more good contributions.
