No, not London's latest cocktail invention... instead this was last night's celestial phenomenon, the likes of which we won't see again until 2033.
So what happened?
Well, the planets literally aligned...
The eclipse begin at 2.07 am on Monday morning where the moon spent just over an hour passing into the shadow of the Earth between the sun and the moon, with the last sighting of it at 3:11am.
For those who stayed up all night, the moon was illuminated once again at 4.23am and it was completely out of Earth's shadow at 5:27am.
So why was this different and why was it red?
This was a supermoon eclipse; this is when the moon’s mostly elliptical orbit brings it closest to Earth —about 220,000 miles away instead of its average 240,000 miles - giving it a red tint. During the combination of this year’s lunar eclipse and red supermoon, the moon appeared 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than we’re used to seeing it.
And if you missed it overhead in London, here are some of the best pictures of the lunar eclipse from right here in London...
