What happens during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the light from the sun that normally illuminates the moon. Partial lunar eclipses are relatively common—but those like this that coincide with a full moon are a relative rarity.
It is pertinent to mention this eclipse is a rare occurrence and on average, each region of Earth has the chance to view a total lunar eclipse only once every 2.5 years.
Can you watch the Blood Moon with naked eye?
Yes, you don’t need special glasses to see a Blood Moon, the event is safe to witness with the naked eye.
