Stargazers marvel at 'Blood Moon' during total lunar eclipse

Stargazers across the Americas are treated to a dramatic 'Blood Moon' during a rare total lunar eclipse. The celestial spectacle is the first of its kind since 2022, although this time the event is a 'Micromoon,' with the moon at its farthest point from Earth, the opposite of 2022's 'Supermoon.' The awe-inspiring phenomenon was visible in parts of Europe and Africa as well.

00:39It was breathtaking, when I saw the moon in the binoculars.
00:44Turn around, turn around.
00:46Yeah, it's breathtaking.
00:48Breathtaking.
00:49No words.
00:51There's nothing we can say to describe it.
00:53When I looked at it through the binoculars, my breath was taken away, really it was.
01:04Turn around, turn around.
01:07I love you.
01:11I love you too.
01:19They are very exciting phenomena, since they allow us to reconnect a little bit with the
01:23most romantic side of astronomy that motivated us to study it.
01:26And, without a doubt, it also allows us to connect with the enthusiasm of the people
01:30who ask us, without a doubt, hey, if they are going to have any activity, what does this eclipse mean?
01:35And questions that, suddenly, can be a little bit simpler or misinformed, like, for example,
01:41if it is harmful to health or something like that, and that also means changing the population
01:45and telling them that nothing bad is going to happen to them and that they should enjoy this show.
