Stargazers around the world glimpse 'Blood Moon' lunar eclipse
BBC News reports on a recent near-total lunar eclipse, also known as a 'Blood Moon' , observed globally on Thursday night and early Friday morning. This phenomenon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align perfectly, casting a shadow on the Moon and giving it a reddish hue.
It follows a significant solar eclipse seen in the UK and Europe just weeks prior. The text includes video links and references to related topics such as eclipses, astronomy, Earth, the Sun, and the Moon.
