Last “Blood Moon” Eclipse Until 2025!
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
A total lunar eclipse or “Blood Moon” that can be seen from Earth will take place on November 8th.
What is a total lunar eclipse?
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon and casts its shadow across the Moon’s surface.
This is because of a strange reddish shade the full moon takes on. It is an excellent opportunity for the whole family to witness a spectacular astronomical phenomenon.
Also one could watch the blood moon without the use of any binoculars or other specialised equipment.
Key facts!
- The totality of the eclipse will last for a leisurely 1 hour and 25 minutes.
- Following this week’s complete lunar eclipse, the next one won’t occur again until 13-14 March 2025.
- In addition, the eclipse will be visible to a significant section of the world’s population.
- Australia, New Zealand, and Asia will see the eclipse on November 8th.
- North Americans and South Americans will see the eclipse before sunrise on November 8.
- The Arctic, Antarctica, Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans will also see portions of the eclipse.
- The ones with binoculars will be able to observe the planet Uranus.
- People who don’t have binoculars will still be able to view Jupiter and Saturn above the blood moon.
- This is because Jupiter and Saturn are closer to Earth than the moon.
