CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - Stargazers got quite the treat Sunday when a supermoon combined with a lunar eclipse for the first time since 1982.

Did you see the blood super moon Sunday night? In Chicago, some people missed a view of it because it was too cloudy. But others here and around the country were able to enjoy the rare blood super moon.

The eclipse started just after 9 p.m. and lasted a little over an hour, when the earth lined up directly between the sun and moon, causing a coppery red color.

There have only been five supermoon eclipses since 1900 (in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982). The next supermoon eclipse won't occur until 2033.
