What Is a Blood Moon? 🌕🔴
A blood moon happens during a total lunar eclipse when Earth’s shadow casts a reddish hue on the moon, turning it into a glowing ruby in the sky.
A Global Astronomy Show
From the night of September 7 to the early morning of September 8, stargazers across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas tuned in (or just looked up!) to catch all seven phases of this cosmic event. The highlight? The Greatest Eclipse at 2:12 a.m. Beijing Time, when the moon was at its roundest and reddest.
- Seven stages: from subtle shadow to full red glow.
- Peak: 2:12 a.m. Beijing Time – the most spectacular moment! 🔴
- Visible across multiple continents – no passport needed to enjoy.
One TikToker joked the moon looked like boba tea topping, and honestly, we can’t unsee it! 🥤😂 Whether you snapped pics or just soaked in the view, this was a night to remember. Mark your calendars for the next eclipse, and keep gazing upward! ✨
