A total lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red on Tuesday across Asia, America

A blood-red moon will soon grace the skies for a total lunar eclipse, and there won't be another until late 2028.

3 Mar, 02:17 — 3 Mar, 08:39

Why this matters

A total lunar eclipse, often called a 'blood moon' due to its reddish hue, is a striking astronomical event. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. Such eclipses are relatively rare, with the next total lunar eclipse not expected until late 2028, making this a significant celestial spectacle for observers worldwide.
