Get Ready for the Cosmic Show! 🌕✨

Attention stargazers! This weekend, prepare your telescopes and grab your binoculars because the second total lunar eclipse of the year is about to dazzle us all! And guess what? Asia will have the prime viewing spots as Earth's shadow dramatically cloaks the full moon.

What to Expect: A Blood Moon Experience!

This breathtaking spectacle is set to unfold as our planet perfectly aligns between the sun and the moon. Totality—a phase where the moon is completely covered—will last an impressive one hour and 22 minutes, making it a must-see event. Starting with the first hints of shadow on the moon, the entire celestial performance will span over five hours.

Where Can You See It?

Lucky for Asia, this eclipse will be visible from a vast expanse stretching from Saudi Arabia to the Philippines, covering even the Arctic Ocean all the way down to Antarctica! Parts of East Africa and the western half of Australia will also catch glimpses of this cosmic wonder. Meanwhile, observers in Europe and the rest of Africa will be able to enjoy at least part of the show, with snatches of visibility reaching the Brazilian coast and a section of Alaska.

What Happens Next?

Can't get enough of celestial events? Just two weeks after the lunar eclipse, keep your eyes on the skies for a partial solar eclipse that will be visible from New Zealand, parts of Australia, and Antarctica. Mark your calendars and don’t miss these enchanting astronomical happenings!
