The March full moon glows red through Saharan dust in eerie composite view

The full Worm Moon rises off the coast of the UK. (Image credit: Josh Dury)

Astrophotographer Josh Dury captured a gorgeous composite view of the March full moon as it rose off the coast of the United Kingdom mere hours after a dramatic blood moon total lunar eclipse.

"This image was captured from the Dorset coast looking out to sea," Dury told Space.com. "In spite of the lunar eclipse not being visible from the UK this time, the Sahara dust in the atmosphere would give the illusion it was. A deep blood red on the horizon. A provoking image. Like a worm, the Worm Moon emerges from the underworld. The end of winter moving into spring."
