Dr. Ruhann Steun, verbonde aan die Sentrum vir Ruimtenavorsing by die NWU, sê die volgende maansverduistering sal eers op 14 Maart 2025 plaasvind.
“The sun, moon and Earth will align Sunday night for a total lunar eclipse on May 15, which occurs when the Earth moves into place between the sun and the full moon. As a result, the Earth casts a giant shadow across the lunar surface, giving the moon a striking reddish hue — which is why lunar eclipses are also referred to as blood moons. Sunday’s full moon is also considered a supermoon, meaning it looks bigger and brighter than usual because it’s at the closest point to Earth in its orbit, also known as perigee.”
