Skywatchers, get ready! For the first time since 2022, a breathtaking total lunar eclipse, known as a ‘blood moon,’ is set to grace the night sky.
During this rare celestial event, the full moon will slip into Earth’s shadow, transforming into a deep reddish hue. This dramatic color change occurs because sunlight is filtered through Earth’s atmosphere, casting a crimson glow onto the moon’s surface.
The ‘blood moon’ will be visible across the nighttime side of Earth during totality, offering a spectacular view for stargazers. While North America is in prime position to witness this cosmic wonder, people around the world can look up and enjoy the show.
For those in the Global South, make sure to check local timings for the eclipse, as visibility may vary depending on your location. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomena!
