Many parts of the globe on Wednesday caught a glimpse of 'super blue blood moon', a rare celestial triple treat.

A total lunar eclipse took place alongside a blue moon and a supermoon that made skywatchers excited for the epic moment.

The phenomenon began in India around 4:21 pm and lasted until 8:42 pm.

It was the first time in 35 years that a blue moon synced up with a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse.

NASA offered a free live feed of the 'lunar trifecta' on NASA TV and NASA.gov/live.

In Asia, the last Blue Moon and a total lunar eclipse happened 35 years ago on December 30, 1982. Meanwhile, for Americans, this phenomenon is happening after 152 years and the last time it happened was in 1866.
