Blood Moon will happen in November
As mentioned earlier, the blood moon is formed by a lunar eclipse along with the supermoon. Thus, an eclipse happens when the Sun, Moon and Earth line up in exactly that order.
A supermoon occurs when the moon is close to its perigee (one of the points in the moon's orbit). At that moment, the Moon enters the Earth's shadow, being covered and gaining a reddish tone.
From this, what we see from Earth is a red colored moon. With this, it will be possible to visualize this scenario on November 8, 2022, the second event of this year.
Where will it be possible to view?
It will be possible to see with the naked eye North and South America, the Pacific, Australia and Asia. However, you need to pay attention to the time zone so you don't miss the natural phenomenon happening.
However, the period that the total lunar eclipse will take place will last about 85 minutes! During this time it is possible to see various phases of the process, but the maximum totality will happen at a specific time and lasts for a short time. At that moment, the moon turns completely red, being a very beautiful moment and many people even judge it as romantic.
Blood Moon Meanings
Despite being a somewhat frightening name, the moon has biblical meaning. In the Bible, something similar to this is mentioned, in the texts Acts of the Apostles 2:14-21 and Joel 2:31. In the book, the event is portrayed as a sign that the end of the world is near. Despite this, such a blood moon will be accompanied by other signs.
In astrology, the phenomenon represents an invitation to leave something of the past. In addition, the weeks leading up to and preceding an eclipse tend to generate a bit of doubt and uncertainty or little clarity in the events of this period.
