Astronomy enthusiasts: very happy and pleasantly surprised
According to the Observatory's data, the moonrise today is 6:56, and the total lunar eclipse starts at 7:09, and ends at 7:28. The super moon becomes a super blood moon. The reason is that when the sun passes through the earth’s atmosphere, only the sun is left. The red light is refracted to the surface of the moon, making the moon appear red, so a "blood moon" will appear in a total lunar eclipse.
On the evening of May 26, the lunar eclipse will appear as a "super blood moon", and it will only take 19 minutes from eclipse to birth.
