WATCH: South Americans gather to observe the red ‘blood moon’ lunar eclipse

Moongazers gathered in Chile, Argentina and Venezuela to observe a total lunar eclipse. The events happen when the moon, Earth and sun align just so. The Earth casts a shadow that can partially or totally blot out the moon.

HOW OFTEN DO LUNAR ECLIPSES OCCUR?

According to NASA, the Earth, moon and sun line up to produce a solar or lunar eclipse anywhere from four to seven times a year. The last total lunar eclipse was in 2022 and a partial lunar eclipse was visible in the Americas, Africa and Europe last September.

ANY OTHER LUNAR EVENTS COMING UP?

If you miss out, the next total lunar eclipse is the evening of September 7 and early morning on September 8. It will be visible from Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. Parts of the Americas will get another taste in March 2026.
