Peak Eclipse: ~23:30 UTC

๐ Why Does the Moon Glow Red?
During a total eclipse, Earthโs shadow swallows the Moon. But instead of disappearing, it glows crimson because Earthโs atmosphere bends sunlight around its edges. Blue and green light scatter away, while the deep reds and oranges remain โ painting the Moon with fiery shades. ๐ฅ
๐ญ How to Watch
Find a dark spot away from city lights for the clearest view.
No telescope needed โ this beauty is visible with the naked eye. ๐๏ธ
Photographers: use a tripod + long exposure to capture the Moonโs eerie red glow. ๐ธ
โจ A Moment of Wonder
Every Blood Moon is different โ its exact shade of red depends on Earthโs atmosphere at that moment. Some appear coppery orange, others a deep scarlet. Itโs not just an eclipse; itโs a live cosmic performance reminding us of Earthโs connection to the Sun and Moon. ๐๐ซ
Mark your calendars: On March 2โ3, the ordinary Moon will transform into something extraordinary. Will you be watching?
