What is a Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth aligns directly between the sun and the moon. This rare cosmic event casts a shadow on the moon, creating a breathtaking sight in the night sky. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch with the naked eye. You don’t need any special glasses or equipment to enjoy this phenomenon.
Global Visibility and Unique Features
Lunar eclipses are visible from anywhere in the world where it is nighttime. This means millions can witness the event at the same time. The moon often turns a stunning reddish hue during a total lunar eclipse, which is why people also call it a “Blood Moon.” These eye-catching features make lunar eclipses a favorite for skywatchers and photographers alike.
