September 08, Colombo (LNW): A spectacular celestial event lit up the skies yesterday as a total lunar eclipse, popularly known as a “Blood Moon,” became visible to millions of people around the world.
This was the second total lunar eclipse of the year, offering skywatchers a rare chance to witness the moon glowing in shades of red and copper. The phenomenon occurred when the Earth, Sun, and Moon aligned perfectly, causing Earth’s shadow to fall directly on the lunar surface.
At its peak, the moon displayed a striking deep red hue, creating a breathtaking sight that fascinated both amateur stargazers and professional astronomers across the globe.
The rare eclipse was also visible from Sri Lanka, with observers capturing remarkable images of the moon in its blood-red brilliance.
