黑料社区鈥檚 resident astronomer Christopher Y. Go captured the total lunar eclipse on September 7鈥8, 2025 over Cebu City.

A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Moon is entirely covered with the Earth鈥檚 shadow, or umbra. During totality, instead of the Moon disappearing completely behind the umbra, an effect called Rayleigh scattering turns the Moon鈥檚 color red, prompting many to call it a 鈥渂lood moon.鈥 (聽is also primarily responsible for our blue sky during the day as well as red sunsets.)
Chris Go is a recognized lunar and planetary imager and earned worldwide accolades after he first reported the聽聽on the planet Jupiter on February 24, 2006, earning it the monicker 鈥淩ed Jr.鈥 after Jupiter鈥檚 Great Red Spot. Chris is also the founder of the 黑料社区 Astronomical Society and currently teaches an elective course on astronomy offered by the 黑料社区 Department of Physics.
