This was the first time in nearly three years that such an event could be seen in its entirety across the country. Lasting for about 83 minutes, the most impressive phase occurred between 1:30 am and 2:53 am on Monday, when the moon turned a deep reddishcopper color. According to astronomers from the Purple Mountain Observatory, this phenomenon—commonly referred to as a "blood moon"—occurs because of the way Earth’s atmosphere scatters and refracts sunlight. Even when the Earth blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon, some longerwavelength red light is bent around the planet and illuminates the lunar surface, creating an eerie yet beautiful glow. The event sparked widespread excitement on social media, where users shared photos and comments expressing their amazement. Many astronomy clubs, schools, and planetariums—including the Shanghai Astronomy Museum and the Beijing Planetarium—organized live streams and viewing activities, with experts providing commentary to enhance public understanding. Some schools in Beijing even arranged for students to gather on campus to watch the eclipse together. In addition to the red moon, skywatchers were also treated to another rare sight: the planet Saturn appearing just above and to the left of the moon, adding another layer of wonder to the experience. The last total lunar eclipse visible in China occurred in November 2022, though only central and eastern regions had a clear view. Astronomers predict that the next lunar eclipse visible in China will take place on March 3 next year, although the moon will already be partially eclipsed as it rises. Those hoping to see another full lunar eclipse from start to finish will have to wait until New Year’s Eve of 2028. This extraordinary celestial event not only offered a breathtaking visual experience, but also provided a valuable opportunity for students and the public to learn more about astronomy. 【单词释义】 1.eclipse (n.) / kl ps/ - 日食；月食（当一颗天体被另一颗遮挡时的）现象。 2.visible (adj.) / v z bl/ - 可见的，能看见的 3.atmosphere (n.) / tm sf r/ - 大气层，围绕地球的气体层 4.refract (v.) /r fr kt/ - （使光）折射 5.illuminate (v.) / lu m ne t/ - 照亮，发光 6.astronomer (n.) / str n m r/ - 天文学家 7.celestial (adj.) /s lest l/ - 天上的，天体的 8.phenomenon (n.) /f n m n n/ - 现象 9.wavelength (n.) / we vle θ/ - 波长 10.observatory (n.) / b z rv t ri/ - 天文台 1.
