During Sunday’s super blood moon, a meteor crashed into the lunar surface—and astronomers recorded the whole thing.

Footage of the impact shows the meteor hitting the Moon during the total lunar eclipse—a relatively rare celestial event where Earth sits directly between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment causes light from the Sun to be refracted, making the Moon appear to be a reddish color. Sunday's full moon was also a "supermoon"—the name given when its orbit is at its closest point to Earth, or perigee.
