• the phenomenon was visible across Europe, Africa, Asia, and australia but not in the Americas.
• During the eclipse, EarthS shadow gave the moon a reddish hue due to light scattering in Earth’s atmosphere.This marks it as a “blood moon.”

Indian Opinion Analysis:
The recent blood moon showcases humanity’s collective interest wiht celestial events while highlighting regional variances in visibility for natural phenomena based on geography-a similarity often experienced with solar eclipses. For India and its neighbors within Asia’s observational range during this event, it emphasizes planetary alignment science that could foster deeper interest among educational institutions to integrate real-time astronomical observations with learning modules at schools or colleges-a step already prioritized globally but needing enhanced accessibility locally. Events like these also serve as inspiration for art and photography communities while indirectly reinforcing awareness around environmental factors like atmospheric interaction influencing visuals seen from Earth.
