Did you spot the lunar eclipse over Wrexham this morning?
A rare ‘Super Blood Wolf Moon’ eclipse took place in the skies over Wrexham this morning.
The event takes places when the moon is positioned slightly closer to the Earth than normal.
During the lunar eclipse the moon appears bigger and brighter than normal.
The ‘super moon’ gives off a red glow on the moons surface as it moves into Earth’s shadow, this is known as a blood moon.
A number of Wrexhamer’s braved the cold weather this morning to go out and try grab a picture of the rare phenomenon.

I hope some peoples camera skills are better than mine….tried getting the #BloodMoon pictures but it was a poor effort!
A much quieter shift for #Rota3 tonight which meant plenty of patrols and paperwork done, we're on rest days now til Thursday #StaySafe everyone 👍 @NWPolice pic.twitter.com/k2f8yYQ7vA
