SOUNDBITE: (English) Dhara Patel, space expert, National Space Centre: "A lunar eclipse is a phenomena we get when we have a specific alignment of the sun, Earth, and moon system. A lunar eclipse happens where you've got the Earth in between the moon and the sun. So you've the sun on one side, the Earth in the middle, the moon on the complete opposite side. Now, you would expect in this kind of alignment what scientists called a syzygy, so a straight line configuration. The moon isn't actually getting any light from the sun because the Earth is right between it blocking that direct light. But because the Earth has an atmosphere, what happens is sunlight sort of gets bent or refracted by the atmosphere of the Earth. A little bit like our glasses that we wear helps to redirect and focus our vision to help us see clearly. And because red light actually gets directed or redirected by just the right amount, that red light just gets projected onto the moon. So anyone that sees a lunar eclipse, it's basically a full moon that we see in our night sky, except it appears much redder, because it's got all that light, all the sunsets and sunrises around the Earth being directed onto the surface of the moon."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Dhara Patel, space expert, National Space Centre: "The brilliant thing about something like a lunar eclipse is because it happens during the full moon phase, the moon is up pretty much throughout the night. So from about sunset all the way through to sunrise the following morning, it will just arc across the sky in the same way the sun does during the day. And with the moon being so bright, you actually don't need any optics to view it. So the best thing you can do is go out, use your eyes, and just, you know, throughout the night, whenever you wanna go, go and have a look for it. There'll obviously be a point in time where that lunar eclipse is at maximum, and that's when it will appear its reddest, but you'll be able to spot the full moon throughout the night. And although the one in the beginning of March isn't visible from the UK, we do have a lunar eclipse, a relatively good one, coming up later in the year, August 28th. There's a partial lunar eclipse that you'll be able to spot in the early morning of that day." ASSOCIATED PRESS Baghdad - 7 September 2025 10. Wide of city and blood moon seen during eclipse 11.
