The moon will become blood red during the total lunar eclipse tonight. More than 7 billion people around the world will be able to see it.
Tonight, people all over the world will get to see a stunning celestial event: a total lunar eclipse will turn the full moon into a rich, brilliant crimson, which is often termed a “Blood Moon.”
More than 7 billion people around the world will be able to see this uncommon cosmic event, making it one of the most widely available eclipses in recent memory.
When there is a total lunar eclipse, the Earth moves right between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun’s light from reaching the moon. As sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, shorter blue wavelengths are scattered, and longer red wavelengths bend toward the moon, making it look red.
Astronomers say that the whole eclipse phase will endure for several hours. At its height, the moon will seem copper, orange, and deep red. You can safely observe lunar eclipses with your eyes, binoculars, or telescopes. Solar eclipses are not safe to watch.
If the sky are clear where you live, you should go outside and see this amazing occurrence. You won’t be able to watch another total lunar eclipse until later in the decade, so you have to see this one tonight.
