Last night, I had the extraordinary opportunity to observe a lunar eclipse, an event where the Earth casts its shadow onto the moon, creating a spectacular sight. The eclipse began just after midnight, with the moon taking on a reddish tint, a phenomenon often referred to as a 'blood moon.' This colour shift occurs because the Earth's atmosphere bends sunlight, which then lights up the moon. I set up my telescope in the garden, allowing for a clearer view. What's fascinating about lunar eclipses is that they are visible from anywhere on the night side of Earth, making them accessible to a broad audience of enthusiasts and professionals alike. The whole experience was incredibly inspiring, making me appreciate the complexities of our solar system even more.
