STORYLINE:
Stargazers gathered at Buenos Aires' Planetarium on Friday to watch a partial lunar eclipse.
In the second act of the greatest show in the solar system the moon passed through the darkest part of Earth's shadow and turned a reddish color.
It came two weeks after a total solar eclipse paraded through Greenland, Iceland and Spain.
Eclipses always travel in pairs as the sun, moon and Earth align so precisely that one obscures the other.
That’s because the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun, which is 400 times farther away, making them appear the same size - a cosmic coincidence and gift from the universe.
The 96% partial eclipse was expected to be visible across the Americas, Europe and Africa.
