🌕✨ Look up, UK stargazers! This Sunday night, a breathtaking “blood moon” lunar eclipse is coming our way, a celestial event not seen since 2022! As the Earth positions itself perfectly between the sun and the moon, our lunar neighbour will glow a stunning deep red. 🌌
The Met Office has revealed that the best time to catch this marvel is around 7.30pm, with the peak moment at 7.33pm. Make sure to find a spot with a clear view of the eastern horizon—perhaps a hill or viewpoint in your area.
For those in built-up areas, heading to an elevated position will offer the best chance of an unobstructed view. No fancy equipment needed, just your eyes and a little patience. Unlike solar eclipses, it’s completely safe to gaze directly at this lunar wonder.
Kids will love it too—it’s a perfect opportunity to share the magic of the cosmos, with noticeable changes occurring minute by minute. So gather your family and friends for a memorable night of sky-watching!
Planning to see the blood moon? Check your local weather forecast to ensure clear skies. The South West and parts of eastern England are predicted to have the best viewing conditions. 🌙
Don’t miss out on this cosmic spectacle, as the next partial lunar eclipse won’t grace our skies until August 2026. Time to mark your calendar and enjoy a night under the stars! 🌟 #BloodMoon #LunarEclipse #NightSkyMagic
