- Nicknamed "blood moon," some ancient cultures regarded a total lunar eclipse as an ominous event. Today, this celestial phenomenon generates excitement and wonder. Unlike a solar eclipse, which may require travel to see, total lunar eclipses can often be observed from the entire nighttime-half of the Earth. Learn what causes a lunar eclipse and how it gains its crimson coloring.

Lunar eclipses occur up to three times a year and can be seen with the naked eye. What new facts did you learn about the lunar eclipse?
National Geographic when will the next lunar eclipse happen
rlyon1960 Tomorrow...
Can it be seen from all places of earth
National Geographic A common mistake - "the Earth"; there is no "the" in front of "Earth". You wouldn't say "the Mars" or "the Saturn". Same with our own planet's name.
National Geographic it's 150 years
she forgot to add that the fire benders lose there bending abilities during an eclipse
She did >:(
JESUS IS COMING BACK TURN TO HIM he loves you think about this please turn to Jesus he loves you think about this please turn to Jesus he loves you
That’s a solar eclipse. Water benders loose their bending during a lunar eclipse :)
'"there," = "their."
May God bless you.
Lunar Eclipse: Feel free to look directly at me!
Solar Eclipse: 👁👄👁
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE LUNAR ECLIPES!?
@@therose-goldmoth2120 Yeah just not solar eclipses there one in 9 days total lunar eclipse

I have seen the red moon twice in my lifetime. I’m very grateful that I was able to see both of these beautiful eclipses
U can see ur 3rd one tonight
Are you still alive?
Your so lucky😢
This is rare? I have seen the red moon 3 times in my lifetime. And i am only 12.
SAME
1:03 I like how they had to ad "NOT TO SCALE" at the bottom 😂
Thegriffingirl- Grace lol
@itsasin1969 Exactly, the stupidity of some adults cannot be overstated.
@itsasin1969 And you are the kind of idiot that uses this as evidence for a globe earth.
@@AviChetriArtwork like yours, for example
@itsasin1969 Your comment implies that I'm a flat earther. But you haven't even took the time to ask what I believe. Im not a flat earther.
Flat earthers are tripping over themselves trying to tie this into a NASA conspiracy
Farth did you see what they showed us a bunch of computer graphics animated cartoons. Look how many are real actual shots?
@Bous Potgieter , ill be quiet, because you called me Moshiac Sun. 🌞
@@jerrytoonsz665 lol so the shadow of the earth makes a red moon pfft why the heck would the red wave length pass while the rest of the spectrum won't. They did not even explain that in detail.
@@jerrytoonsz665 that's bs no scientific reason why red spectrum appears but not blue lol
I got replied to by an angry flat earther and he said "The earth is flat because why can you see the sun during a lunar eclipse" lol
Thanks for narrating this so I can focus on the pictures.
We're very happy to hear the narration added to your viewing experience, Aaron!
+National Geographic hello! I was waiting the blood moon today in jan. 31 2018!! Well it's crescent one is also normal but 9;45 the blood moon is here!! THANKS!!!!!
Aaron Bear if
LOL
I love this narrator
School send me TH-cam homework
But there memes in the comment
Bruh same
Imagine going school haha.
Lol
*teachers sending it to me to watch but me falling asleep just listening to the violin music*
Yes
Moon: Ugh I really hate this color I want red
Sun: fine here you go
*sun refracted red light to the moon*
Moon: thank you sir
Thank you sir
You made me laugh
Sun: yeah yeah yeah go ahead be famous
How amazing is our Creator !
I wish my high school teachers were as good as this narrator at explaining things. I would’ve so well.
Naruto Fans: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*

Dont forget those who played Breath of the Wild
Stop.

We're seeing this tonight in 4hrs 50mins. Can't wait for this amazing moment. Thanks National Geographic for sharing this info.
Are u from philippines
+The Chosen One I agree I'm in the Phillipines too! Welcome!! To the Pilipinas!!
Today, a penumbral eclipse will occur. Can't wait to witness it!
@@njourmty-bs510 I saw the November one lol I stayed up till 4am to see it
Bro I saw a blood red moon while I was on a trip in the us and I didn’t even plan to see it
Comment the time you are watching this and from where.
Here is an example:
I am watching this at 5:33PM in California :)
iEv_eYT is it red?
California 5:54
Malaysia 3.14pm
India, 3:18pm
Meagan Neff 5:43 AM southern California
I like the lunar ones better. They're more often, last longer and can be looked directly at.
Blue Moon
Super Moon
Blood Moon will happen tonight :)
Yes it is happening now I mean It is now blood moon 🌙
+latha Sivakumar it's full moon now
ThunderVolt10 yeah
Listened to an astronomer on the local news and they actually say it's a Super Blue Blood Moon :O
Wow, that's a pretty impressive name.
Couldnt be seen in sydneh 😣😣😣
Its marvellous how half of the world can see this all at the same time, UK. USA, France, Russia Asia, India,....and also seen from Australia, South Africa , South America ( but of course it is seen inverted from the southern hemisphere)
Proof that earth is not flat and the moon is 238,000 miles away.
The way you speak... Makes me to hear... That I forget my time
The 15 of may was my birthdate. Having an eclipse on that day was like a special gift to me
I saw that one!
Who’s here for school ----->
Sadly me..
I am here after school. Because my teacher was not able to explain my questions
Who is viewing this video today,16.7.19
😁😁
yes. from Christchurch NZ ill be having my breakfast outside this morning.
Me
mE
Me
Lol hey
I swear I saw this and I didn’t even notice I was just like “hey blood moon cool” I feel dumb
You're lucky tho 😂
@Bibbles yeah there was wildfire smoke blanketing the sky in my area a few years ago and it looks like a low budget lunar eclipse
I didn't seen such type of clear explanation in any video in TH-cam
Thank you NGC
Vijay Kumar would you please fix your grammer
Not to clear to me. It doesn't make sense.
@@metalspider7735 would you please fix your spell of grammar?
@@eliramirez3798 cuz you're a dummy.
Gamers be like
Lunar eclipse: no
Blood moon: yes
THE BLOOD MOON RISES ONCE AGAIN
It ended but I had the chance to see it. Now my plan is to see a total solar eclipse.
Flat earther can't explain this😂
Exactly
The moon is flat too
Bruh 😂😂😂 it's all set ups of nasa 🗿
Oh, but I’m sure they’ll try
The moon is fake, didn't you guys hear? Its actually made of cheese!!
I really want to witness a Total Lunar Eclipse one day!
The whole moon turning blood red/dark orange like in the freaking Third Impact looks so unreal to me
Came here because of the eclipse today
Hey , I’m in turkey 🇹🇷 and there’s a total lunar eclipse RIGHT NOW ITS BEAUTIFUL 🤭
Nobody asked
@@THUGGA4L Nobody asked you to be rude either.
Cool
Here after watching the April 8 2024 solar eclipse trying to differenciate between solar and lunar eclipse.😂
Same
Lol, long story short:
Solar eclipse - the Moon blocks the Sun from Earth.
Lunar eclipse - the Earth blocks the Sun from the Moon. (If you were ON the Moon, it would be like watching a solar eclipse with Earth replacing the Moons place like in a regular solar eclipse)
There's actually a 4th type of lunar eclipse called a "central eclipse." A central eclipse is a type of total eclipse where not only does the moon go completely behind Earth's umbra but it passes through the center of Earth's umbra. Since the Earth's umbra is still about three times the diameter of the moon by the time it reaches the moon, the moon can go completely behind the Earth's umbra and easily miss the center. For this reason, central lunar eclipses are extremely rare as the vast majority of total lunar eclipses are non-central.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned with Earth between the other two, and only on the night of a full moon.
Wow?! Gods creation is beyond speechless! I’m mesmerised of how gargantuan celestial objects can create such spectacular colours in the sky
I'm watching this video as I wake up in the afternoon, after having been up all night enjoying last night's partial ( but almost total) lunar eclipse of November 19th of 2021 😄
Yeeeeeees I did the Same thing and my dad woke me up at 4 in the morning
Lunar eclipses don’t get enough recognition
When I was playing at night with my friends I saw the moon it was large and the back of the moon is yellow when we go somewhere I go outside I look at the moon it was red I thought it was the mars crashing to earth
Thank you for this video this actually helped me with my homework 😊
For me too 😅
Scientists: Lunar Eclipse
Breath Of The Wild players: BLOOD MOON!
*Terraria players
See now. . Bloody moon👀
The lunar eclipse happens just rarely. Solar eclipse happens very rarely.
Lunar Eclipse happens: 3 times a year
Solar Eclipse happens: 2 times a year
Mercury Transit: 1 time in 13 years or more years
@Hiền Nguyễn Thu me too
AnonymousCrowRBLX and Venus transits are ultra rare! I was bummed when i found there won’t be another one until 2117, and i missed the one in 2012!
Oh yeah - that's what we saw last night - amazing view of the total Lunar Eclipse...
I saw the super blue blood moon and it was WONDERFUL
I've never seen one before until now....Its so Beautiful!
FNAF Giz
thank you Nat Geo... you made studying for exam fun...
July 4th I cant wait to see it😁
I learnt alot I am watching the lunar eclipse right now it's a beautiful experience the time is 20:30 here in South Africa in Cape Town I thought there was something wrong so I decided to search more about the red moon
Quite an interesting and informative video. Got to know about various lunar eclipses in no time. Thank you NGC!
here for this one!
parents: am need to name my kid something
some kid outside: umbra
everbody: good name
Came back here because of Total Lunar Eclipse this Quarantine 1:36am of June 6, 2020
Haha me too, but can't see any of it it's already past 7:45 in my country everything seems normal
@@musondah9495 Where you from? It's 2am here in my country and total lunar eclipse will be in 3am
Awesome animation, narration and facts. These are what make Nat Geo my all time favorite..
Amazing we are able to see such celestial occurrences like eclipses so regularly. No way that is just chance. I once heard there is a greater likelihood that a box of toothpicks dropped from a seven-story building will form a perfect road map of London than our planet, moon, and sun being in such order to allow for complex, intelligent life and beauty to flourish as it does.
Subhanallah .. maşaallah!
caco otuzüç we don’t speak corona virus
I woke up last night and I looked out the window and the moon was very bright and a little bit bigger. Not as spectacular as I had hoped but still very cool!
Saw this today, it was phenomenal. :)
It was a spectacular sight indeed! 🌑
Just researched this after seeing the most beautiful dark red Moon tonight. Really awesome to see one😍
This was really well-done, thank you!
I saw a REAL Lunar Eclipse on July 4th 2022! Or was it 2023? I don’t really remember the year. I was like “I SAW A REAL LUNAR ECLIPSE!!!”❤🌑🌎☀️❤️ I wish there was a Lunar and a Solar Eclipse emoji!❤
Theres a lunar eclipse happening here in 15 minutes!
My mother told me she also saw the solar eclipse too
Edit: it happened! Its a total eclipse :D
Last night, I was outside watching the 'Super Blue Blood Moon'. It was so beautiful. Then, I watched the live feed of NASA on TH-cam, I could see a lot of flat-Earth people saying it was CGI and fake, BUT I COULD TOTALLY SEE IT FROM MY OWN EYE I COULD EVEN SEE THE EARTH'S CURVATURE ON THE MOON!!!! WTF. Like these flat-Earth people call anything fake even if it's there but they don't just want to see.
the red moon is right in front of me 🌒 it's so beautiful 😍 what a view
Much love from Tamilnadu, India 🇮🇳❤️
Who’s ready this Friday??
I miss it😭it’s okay,i will wait until 21 january 2019
Time to watch my second total lunar eclipse on May 26. It's been over 3 years of waiting to see this one.
Yes it has
Oops...I missed it! I'll have to wait another 135 years now!
Mike O'Brien I thought its 150 yrs.
I mean I Thought The Next Super Blue Blood Moon Will Occur In the next 150 yrs
oh yeah, I think you're right!
Nope there is another super blue blood moon in the 2030's
yeah, 2037 I think
Just saw a Lunar Eclipse here in Hong Kong. It is 2019 December 14 8pm
If we were on the moon during the lunar eclipse it would be a solar eclipse
The voice is sooooo like Azula ❤❤
From Avatar: tla?
i often see lunar eclipse when I have to go pee in the middle of the night. It will shine right through my window lol
Mmmh can I come
ive seen a total lunar eclipse. people might not think its a huge deal but they are very pretty and insteresting to look at directly. ill always keep the picture in my phone.
Saw this one yesterday!! What a scene!! Lovely.
Wasn't the lunar eclipse so fascinating to see in-person? We're glad you got a glimpse of this lunar eclipse yesterday, Indraja!
National Geographic yes... :)
Its your lucky day! My teacher used you as our guide! Congrats on getting picked!
Its happenning tommorow innphilipines
Dude that's solar eclipse
yes
HAHAHAHAHAAHA
Annular Solar Eclipse
I only seen one when i was 13, but the sky completely turned red at the playground.
I fear I will turn in to a werewolf during the peak,
Farfy McDoogle i will be the seer then
I fear I'll get bit by a vampire then turn in to one
Its so weird,that I heard wolf bark when The Moon was Red,but just for few seconds...or so,is it a dog or wolf....or???
U must have ebola
Farfy McDoogle
I didn't. But it was by dawns first light that an amazing eclipse was witnessed.
It is 11/07/2022 and There is a Red Moon tonight. I hope everyone has a beautiful night ❤
Okay so basically,
Lunar Eclipse: Earth comes b/w Sun & Moon
Solar Eclipse: Moon comes b/w Sun & Earth
Thanks for giving such a beautiful video
WOOHOO ITS TOMMOROW
i really wanna see lunar trifecta!
kid tuber DJ for me it today
kid tuber DJ I just took a pic of the moon but im waiting for the eclipse 👍🏻is 3:20am I’m waiting for 5am -7am 😐😏😯
WOOHOO I MISSED IT
kid tuber DJ wow
I always see orange ball but you say a red. Thanks for that information I love it
Let's see flat earth red try to explain a lunar eclipse there way
It would be called a solar eclipse...
If you were standing on the moon during a lunar eclipse it would be a solar eclipse of the earth. The earth would have a red ring around it and maybe the red light would be shining on ground on the moon
Can't wait to see this :)
That’s actually the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Either that or the enemies are respawning again, like in the Hyrule Kingdom.
Thats awesome I saw it this moning at 5:30 I woke up so early

I stayed up until 2:00am that night, fun times😂

Yes, and you have a chance to see the lunar eclipse up to three times a year!
THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY I HAD THE TOTAL ONE IT WAS AMAZING

This happened today and I was crying so hard
Very cool! Thank you. I didn’t realize there were different types of lunar eclipses
Me too
sooo a lunar eclipse happened just now and its so beautiful
You know in flat earthers website, they say that a "Shadow object" revolves around the sun causing the lunar eclipse. It can't be seen by humans otherwise :)
Last night in Modimolle,South Africa we had a total lunar eclipse
Hope it doesn’t rain tonight...
Fingernail Clipper here is really like 40s
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid No, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand Stand by me
