<![CDATA[ From city skylines to remote dark skies, skywatchers worldwide captured the total lunar eclipse 2026 in all its crimson glory. ]]>
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to cover the Moon. This phenomenon can only happen during a full moon and can be seen from anywhere on the night side of the Earth.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire Moon passes through the Earth's umbra, the darkest part of its shadow. During this event, the Moon can appear completely dark or take on a reddish color, depending on atmospheric conditions.
