"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"According to the Met Office, the moon took on a reddish hue because it was illuminated by light that had passed through the Earth's atmosphere and had been bent back towards the moon by refraction, scattering blue light and allowing red wavelengths to reach the moon. Where skies were clear, the eclipse was visible at around 7.30pm. The eclipse was visible to the naked eye, and unlike solar eclipses, was safe to view directly as the moon's reflected light is not as bright."
The Independent requests donations to support on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. Donations enable sending journalists to investigate matters like the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent chooses not to use paywalls, making journalism available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. A total lunar eclipse created a Blood Moon visible across parts of the UK for the first time since 2022. The Met Office explained the red hue results from sunlight refracted through Earth's atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red wavelengths to illuminate the moon. Where skies were clear the eclipse was visible around 7.30pm and was safe to view with the naked eye.
