If you missed out on the rare supermoon lunar eclipse, don’t worry, there are plenty of great videos available to see what it looked like.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the moon and the sun, and the Earth’s shadow blocks out part or all of the moon.

“You’re basically seeing all of the sunrises and sunsets across the world, all at once, being reflected off the surface of the moon,” Sarah Noble, a program scientist at NASA, told the New York Time.

NASA scientists say Sunday night’s lunar eclipse was rare because it coincided with the supermoon or blood moon. That hasn’t happened in more than 30 years and won’t happen again until 2033.

Here are some of the videos you need to see:
