LAHORE: (Dunya News) – Blood Moon is going to appear in the sky on the night between September 27 and 28. The lunar eclipse that is going to take place on the night between Sunday and Monday is being termed as ‘Blood Moon’, reported Dunya News.
Moon has always been an attraction for humans but Blood Moon has a beauty of its own. What is a Blood Moon? When the moon comes very close to Earth’s orbit, it is called a Super Moon and if this happens during a lunar eclipse then it is called ‘Blood Moon’. The color of the moon, for being too close to the Earth, first turns from Orange to Brown and then to Red.
Such a scene is extremely beautiful to watch but there are superstitions attributed to it in certain societies, which believe the ‘Blood Moon’ to be an indicator of world’s destruction.
According to some experts on Astronomy, this also happens when Earth, Moon, Sun and Mars come before each other at once. This Blood Moon will be completely visible in America, Western Europe, Western Africa and some parts of Antarctica.
Experts say that such a situation occurred in 1982, 33 years ago, and is going to take place again on the night between September 27 and 28.
The moon will be extremely close to Earth on September 28 after around 30 years. Lunar eclipse will start on 5:11 am and will end at 10:22 am according to Pakistan Standard Time. According to Met Office, the color of the moon will be Red and will appear larger than usual.
