Lunar eclipses cannot be viewed from all places on the globe simultaneously... WTF is this headline and why is it here?

Yeah I was trying to work it out in my head before I realized it’s just not possible. The headline had me so confused because I read it half asleep and was just imagining the world sort of unfolding into a flat plane just to awe at this spectacle.

Yeah, these journalists need to not be allowed to use such vague terms to their advantage. Every year there’s eclipses and events and every year the same article, “the last one for a decade, the only chance for 40 years.” But somehow they keep saying that by twisting words and events to appear to be once in a lifetime, every time.

I also do not like the use of their Entire Planet garbage, and the article then describes how many continents it can be seen on but not where on those massive land masses. Unless the consider a daytime eclipse that you can’t see as counting… but they left out Antarctica so their “Entire Planet” headline should be illegal and they should be sentenced to public shaming or getting urinated on.

Trash headline.

At BEST, roughly half the globe can see a total lunar eclipse.

Also, journalists need to stop calling them "blood moon". Just stop. You're not an 18th century bumpkin.

"Around the world." I don't think this author understands how spheres work...

It didn't actually say it can be viewed around the world simultaneously, just that it can be viewed from around the world.

The article said 4 different continents.

According to the NASA website, it will be visible in North America, Central America, Australia and eastern Asia.

Seriously. It's gotten people thinking that eclipses and "blood moons" are separate things.

At least they didn't slap another three random adjectives onto this one like they've started doing for every full moon for some reason..

It's my birthday on tuesday, and as far as I remember, I don't think I've ever witnessed a celestial event on my birthday. Can't wait to wake up early and watch it.

No, it's a replacement term for "lunar eclipse" which journalists started pushing some years back because it sounded scarier and less science-y, and thus gets more clicks. Purely dumbing things down for advertising purposes.

Keep your hair on! Its just I looked on the website and didn't really understand the picture and it showed the uk on the ass end of something.

The uk will get the blood moon on monday just not the eclipse

Well, to be fair, yeah, the map on the NASA website is a bit confusing. It looks like the UK might see the very beginning of the eclipse, the penumbral, around 8 am, but I don't know if anything will really be visible.

The Blood Moon is an eerie mechanic in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that enhances Ganon's power, allowing the spirits of fallen enemies to return to life by the red glow.

Be extra careful if you notice a red moon overhead (it is first possible to see it at 9:00PM or 21:00 in-game). You may want to avoid entering enemy camps or engaging Minibosses and bosses until after the Blood Moon passes at midnight. Enemies, including bosses, will regain all of their health after a Blood Moon!
