March's full moon is called the "Worm Moon," according to the Farmer's Almanac, which has documented the history of how full moons are named. Moons that take on these reddish hues during a total lunar eclipse are called " Blood Moons ." The combined nicknames have resulted in some calling it the " Blood Worm Moon ."

This was the first total lunar eclipse since 2022, and photographers — both amateur and professional — were not going to let the rare opportunity to capture the spectacle pass

The event marks the first time a commercial company has been able to actively operate on the moon and observe a total solar eclipse.

Blue Ghost just sent back amazing photos of last night's "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse from its perch in Mare Crisium, or "Sea of Crises," a vast basin on the northeastern region of the moon's near side. Blue Ghost landed there on March 2 and has been sending us stunning photos and videos of its moon excursion ever since.
