A Celestial Phenomenon Captivates Viewers Worldwide Despite Weather Obstacles in the UK
Skywatchers around the globe have been captivated by the breathtaking display of a “super flower blood moon,” an extraordinary event resulting from the May full moon aligning with a lunar eclipse. This rare phenomenon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth during its orbit, appearing larger and brighter, while also turning red as it slips into our planet’s shadow.
Stunning photographs have emerged from various locations, including the Western United States and Sydney Harbour, showcasing the celestial beauty. However, amateur astronomers in the UK, particularly those gathered at Stonehenge, faced disappointment as heavy cloud cover obscured their view of the event.
While the supermoon can be seen across the globe, the partial eclipse is only visible in certain areas, including parts of the U.S., eastern Latin America, and regions in Russia and Asia. Fortunately, the event can still be streamed live in the UK.
Key Points:
Stream the lunar eclipse live for those unable to view it in person.
The blood supermoon is predicted to be the most spectacular in years.
The significance of the May full moon’s name relates to seasonal changes.
Cloud cover hindered flower moon enthusiasts at Stonehenge.
The supermoon was beautifully captured over the Hercilio Luz Bridge in Florianopolis, Brazil.
