Many observers have had the opportunity to see tonight on Sunday, September 7, a “blood moon” on Sunday, September 7, during a total lunar eclipse. If this is the second moon of this type since the beginning of the year, the program has delighted more than one.
A total lunar eclipse It occurs thanks to a movement game between planets and satellites. The earth must pass between the moon and the sun, projecting its shadow on the lunar surface. At that time, the moon takes a reddish tone for about 82 minutes.
The French sky crossed by the red moon
Despite some clouds, some French were able to contemplate the night star this Sunday night. From Moselle to Marseille, weather photographers could take excellent photos.
The satellite was also observed above the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, or in the sky of Auvergnois. In France, the phenomenon was visible to the maximum at 8:11 pm, according to the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and the calculation of Ephemeris.
Visible from Europe to Asia
During tonight, the blood moon was particularly visible from Europe. Despite the war, the Ukrainians could also attend this phenomenon.
From some angles, the blood moon could be confused with a Baudruche balloon retained by the statue of the Greek goddess Irène, in the center of the city of Athens.
In East Germany, in Leipzig, the Walkers could also attend this very beautiful show in the parks, where his eyes were clear.
In another part of the world, the photos captured are sometimes unreal. This is the case, for example, in Asia, in Antalya (Türkiye), where the moon was hidden among the columns of the historical temple of Apollo.
The same feeling in the middle of the crowd in Shaghai, surprised by this beautiful spectacle in the BUND promenade, near the Huangpu River.
For those who would not have had the opportunity to contemplate the sky on Sunday night, a great eclipse is expected, this time solar, on August 12, 2026. This total sun eclipse will be the first in Europe since 2006 and can be completely visible in Spain and Iceland, and partly in other countries.
