The rare Blood Moon total lunar eclipse started lighting up the sky late Thursday with a bright full Moon. Why it matters: It's the only lunar eclipse visible from the U.S. this year and the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022.

Google Pixel phones are known for their excellent computational photography, and they can handle lunar eclipse shots well with the right settings. If you have a recent Pixel model, Night Sight mode will be your best friend. Open the Camera app, swipe to Night Sight, and frame your shot.

The full Worm moon was eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow early Friday morning.
