The country’s Stargazers got a chance to see the total Lunar eclipse on sunday The evening was visible from parts of Britain as “blood moon”.
For the first time since 2022, Britain saw the moon Fold as a dark, dark red Earth Passed directly between Sun and moonCasting your shadow across the lunar surface.
As Meteorological OfficeThe moon took a red hue as it was illuminated by light that passed through the Earth’s atmosphere and was tilted towards the moon by refraction, scattered blue lights and allowed red wavelength to reach the moon.
Where the sky was clear, the eclipse was visible at around 7.30 pm.
The eclipse was visible to the naked eyes, and unlike the solar eclipse, was safe to look straight because the reflected light of the moon is not as bright.
However, rare spectacles were more visible in many other parts of the world, including Africa and parts of the Middle East.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the moon and the sun, obscure the latter and makes it dark.
The light reaching the lunar surface is scattered by the earth, so that it can see red to the people who see from the ground.
Royal Observatory Greenwich Said that the next opportunity to see a lunar eclipse in Britain will be on 28 August 2026. But contrary to the end of this week, it is only a partial eclipse.
