We realize there are as many photos of the Blood Moon Eclipse online as there were people who looked up in the sky and exclaimed, “Cooooool!” but we just had to share these ones featuring Tokyo Skytree, the newest icon of Japan’s capital city. As the tallest tower in the world, Tokyo Skytree is often photographed, but the addition of the huge scarlet moon made for breathtaking views. Check them out after the jump!
The Blood Moon was seen hanging out to the side of Skytree, giving skywatchers an extra beautiful heavenly view:
東京スカイツリー天望回廊(450m)と皆既月食。EOS M＆一脚だけど、なんとか止められたかな？展望台に人が居るのもわかるね～。あっちも皆既月食をご堪能中かな？（Twitter画質だと再圧縮されてキビシイかもしれない…） pic.twitter.com/TDKINJSKH7

The moon played a short game of hide and seek during the night. Though not as impressive, it gave the Skytree an eerie glow:

But the most striking photos featured the Blood Moon perfectly balanced on the tippy top of the 634 meter broadcasting tower.
プロ、そしてアマチュアでも極めてる人なら、ちゃんとスカイツリーの塔のてっぺんに皆既月食をちゃんと乗っけることができる。自分はこれが限界。あと1.5個分ぐらい下だった…。 pic.twitter.com/dJ55eVY9Tl
