‘핏빛 슈퍼문’ 3년 반 만에 오늘밤 뜬다
A super blood moon lit the skies up color across many parts of the world,.. including here in South Korea.
Thanks to livestreams, the unusual celestial festivities were visible from anywhere.
Lee Kyung-eun reports.
On Wednesday night,... the moon appeared brighter, bigger, and redder,.. under a total luner eclipse.
It entered Earth's shadow and turned red,... forming what is called a "blood moon."
This was the first total lunar eclipse in three years.
It coincided with the biggest and brightest full moon of the year,... or "supermoon",... giving it the title of "super blood moon."
The lunar eclipse consisted of multiple stages,...including a partial eclipse which began shortly after moonrise.
But the total eclipse began at 8:11 PM, Korea time,...reaching its peak at 8:19 PM when it became completely red.
It lasted for 15 minutes which is much shorter than usual.
Usually, a lunar eclipse would be visible with the naked eye,...unlike a solar eclipse.
But in South Korea,... it was largely covered by clouds.
However, it was visible in other parts of the world.
Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand were among some of the places to offer the best view in clear skies.
