People who woke early got to see a lunar phenomenon known as a super blood wolf moon.

The rare celestial event takes places when the moon is positioned slightly closer to the Earth than normal, and appears slightly bigger and brighter than normal - a phenomenon called a super moon.

During the total eclipse, the moon gives off a coppery red glow on the lunar surface as it slips into Earth’s shadow, known as a blood moon.

Since it appears in January, when wolves used to howl in hunger outside villages, it earned the name wolf moon, according to The Farmers Almanac.

Clear skies gave people in the Isle of Man a good view.

The optimum viewing time was around 5.12am, with the maximum eclipse coming as the moon was completely submerged within the Earth’s shadow.

The phenomenon was visible between about 4.40am and about 6.45am.
