The recent total lunar eclipse marked the first blood moon in over two years, casting a ruddy hue over the moon as Earth's shadow covered it. Local stargazing events occurred globally, with the eclipse viewable in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. This astronomical event showcased humanity's enduring fascination with the moon. The next total lunar eclipse is expected in September, followed by another in March 2024, ensuring continued opportunities for skywatchers to experience this phenomenon.
The blood moon was most visible this week in Asia and parts of Europe, Africa and Australia, as stargazers flocked together for viewing parties.
Total lunar eclipses create a red-hued moon as sunlight travels through the Earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red wavelengths to pass.
