This phenomena occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth to cast a red shadow.
Jeff Tropeano with the Denver Astronomical Society said before the event that while it was a partial eclipse, for those in and around Denver, it almost looked like a total eclipse.

Tropeano said the shadow is red because you're seeing the sunset on the other side of the world being projected onto the surface of the moon.
The following are some of the many photos of the "blood moon" people submitted to YouReport or posted on social media.
