Astronauts at the International Space Station enjoyed stunning views of the total lunar eclipse on the night of May 15.

European astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti shared several snapshots on Twitter today (May 16), showing different stages of the Super Flower Blood Moon lunar eclipse framed by space station equipment and with cloud-covered Earth below.

Because the International Space Station completes one orbit around Earth every 90 minutes, the astronauts probably enjoyed several rounds of the spectacle!

During a total eclipse, the moon doesn't disappear from the sky but instead turns red, an effect caused by the scattering of light by Earth's atmosphere.
