Did you see the blood moon over Glasgow?

If you were looking up at the skies during the early hours this morning, you might have noticed the moon wasn't looking like its normal self.

As a result of a rare celestial event where a supermoon - that's when the moon is at the closest point to the Earth and appears larger - coincided with a lunar eclipse, the moon looked red in the sky.

For those who weren't up and about during the event, here's just a few pictures from the intrepid Glasgow social media users who pulled an all-nighter.
