Last night, a rare and long-lasting 'blood moon' total lunar eclipse was visible in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, with stunning photographs captured from various locations worldwide, showcasing the moon's red hue caused by Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight. The next such event will occur on March 3, 2026.
A total lunar eclipse, known as a 'Blood Moon,' will be visible across Asia, parts of Europe, and Africa on Sunday night, lasting from 17:30 to 18:52 GMT, with the Moon turning deep red due to Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight. The event offers a rare viewing opportunity for skywatchers in these regions, while others will see only a partial eclipse or miss it entirely. This eclipse is a prelude to a more significant event next year—a rare total solar eclipse visible in parts of Europe.
The article explains the stages of the upcoming total lunar eclipse on September 7-8, including the penumbral, umbral, and totality phases, highlighting that the eclipse will turn the moon a deep red, visible across parts of Asia, Australia, and Europe, with safe viewing options and livestreams available.
