How to see rare ‘blood moon’ that’s visible tonight in event that hasn’t happened in years

A rare phenomenon is set to light up the night sky with a deep shade of red reflecting off the moon.Known as a ‘blood moon’, people from all over the world are set to witness a total lunar eclipse tonight (March 13).

It is the first complete lunar eclipse to have taken place since 2022, and it occurs when Earth sits directly between the sun and the moon – and due to its orbit it happens around every two and a half years.

Explaining why it happens, Professor Don Pollacco, of University of Warwick Astronomy and Astrophysics Group, said: “The Moon, like all planets, gives out no light of its own, but instead shines by reflecting sunlight.

“On the morning of Friday 14th March [for residents in the UK], the moon during its monthly orbit of the Earth will pass through the Earth’s shadow.
