[Photo] Admire the rare super "blood moon" in the sky of Hanoi

In the early morning of September 8, a total lunar eclipse, commonly known as the “blood moon”, appeared in the sky of Hanoi. This is a beautiful and rare astronomical event. Vietnamese people can completely observe it with the naked eye.

This particular eclipse occurs about 2-6 days before the Moon reaches perigee (the closest point to Earth in its orbit), making the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual. Therefore, it is also called a super blood moon, marking a rare astronomical combination.

People across the country can watch this total solar eclipse in its entirety if the weather conditions are favorable. The best time is from 0:30 to 1:50 on September 8, when the Moon is completely submerged in the Earth's shadow and glows a deep red.

At 0:30 a.m., total phase begins (the Moon turns completely red).

The term “blood moon” comes from the phenomenon of the Moon changing color during the total phase of a lunar eclipse. When the Moon enters the Earth’s shadow (umbra), direct sunlight cannot reach the Moon’s surface.

Astronomers recommend that observers choose an open space with little artificial light for the best experience. Unlike Asia, the Americas will not be able to observe this phenomenon because the Moon will be below the horizon during the eclipse.

In Vietnam, astronomy enthusiasts can start observing when the Moon gradually enters the penumbra, but the most impressive phase is from about 2am to nearly 4am, when the total phenomenon occurs. At this time, the Moon will have a brilliant orange-red color, standing out in the late night sky.

This is not only an amazing astronomical phenomenon but also a special light show in the sky of Vietnam.
