Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia today enjoyed the so -called blood moon, the solar eclipse that has dyed our satellite red.
The cloudiness has prevented the show from being enjoyed in a good part of Spain.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses the shadow of the earth, blocking the sunlight that illuminates it. When it is total, like today, the satellite is not completely dark, but acquires a red tone, because part of sunlight is diverted by the earth’s atmosphere.
When the moon enters completely into the shadow cone of the Earth, there is talk of total eclipse, and at that time it acquires its characteristic tone that “makes it the famous ‘Blood Moon’”.
This Sunday’s eclipse has left spectacular images in much of the world.
