We were up early to witness this. It was very pretty; and 'insanely nerdy' according to at least one of my kids.

A "blood moon" was once a terrifying event for our
ancestors, who struggled to explain the orb's sudden transformation
into a fiery red ball. Modern-day observers understand the science
behind the event, but it still provides an opportunity for people to
gaze in wonder at the night sky.
On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, depending
on where in the world you were, a total eclipse made a “blood moon”
visible for observers in Asia, Australia and North and South America.
