- Nicknamed "blood moon," some ancient cultures regarded a total lunar eclipse as an ominous event. Today, this celestial phenomenon generates excitement and wonder. Unlike a solar eclipse, which may require travel to see, total lunar eclipses can often be observed from the entire nighttime-half of the Earth. Learn what causes a lunar eclipse and how it gains its crimson coloring.

Lunar eclipses occur up to three times a year and can be seen with the naked eye. What new facts did you learn about the lunar eclipse?
National Geographic when will the next lunar eclipse happen
rlyon1960 Tomorrow...
Can it be seen from all places of earth
National Geographic A common mistake - "the Earth"; there is no "the" in front of "Earth". You wouldn't say "the Mars" or "the Saturn". Same with our own planet's name.
National Geographic it's 150 years
I have seen the red moon twice in my lifetime. I’m very grateful that I was able to see both of these beautiful eclipses
U can see ur 3rd one tonight
Are you still alive?
Your so lucky😢
This is rare? I have seen the red moon 3 times in my lifetime. And i am only 12.
SAME
Lunar Eclipse: Feel free to look directly at me!
Solar Eclipse: 👁👄👁
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE LUNAR ECLIPES!?
@@therose-goldmoth2120 Yeah just not solar eclipses there one in 9 days total lunar eclipse

she forgot to add that the fire benders lose there bending abilities during an eclipse
She did >:(
JESUS IS COMING BACK TURN TO HIM he loves you think about this please turn to Jesus he loves you think about this please turn to Jesus he loves you
That’s a solar eclipse. Water benders loose their bending during a lunar eclipse :)
'"there," = "their."
May God bless you.
Flat earthers are tripping over themselves trying to tie this into a NASA conspiracy
Farth did you see what they showed us a bunch of computer graphics animated cartoons. Look how many are real actual shots?
@Bous Potgieter , ill be quiet, because you called me Moshiac Sun. 🌞
@@jerrytoonsz665 lol so the shadow of the earth makes a red moon pfft why the heck would the red wave length pass while the rest of the spectrum won't. They did not even explain that in detail.
@@jerrytoonsz665 that's bs no scientific reason why red spectrum appears but not blue lol
I got replied to by an angry flat earther and he said "The earth is flat because why can you see the sun during a lunar eclipse" lol
Thanks for narrating this so I can focus on the pictures.
We're very happy to hear the narration added to your viewing experience, Aaron!
+National Geographic hello! I was waiting the blood moon today in jan. 31 2018!! Well it's crescent one is also normal but 9;45 the blood moon is here!! THANKS!!!!!
Aaron Bear if
LOL
I love this narrator
School send me RUclips homework
But there memes in the comment
Bruh same
Imagine going school haha.
Lol
*teachers sending it to me to watch but me falling asleep just listening to the violin music*
Yes
Moon: Ugh I really hate this color I want red
Sun: fine here you go
*sun refracted red light to the moon*
Moon: thank you sir
Thank you sir
You made me laugh
Sun: yeah yeah yeah go ahead be famous
1:03 I like how they had to ad "NOT TO SCALE" at the bottom 😂
Thegriffingirl- Grace lol
@itsasin1969 Exactly, the stupidity of some adults cannot be overstated.
@itsasin1969 And you are the kind of idiot that uses this as evidence for a globe earth.
@@AviChetriArtwork like yours, for example
@itsasin1969 Your comment implies that I'm a flat earther. But you haven't even took the time to ask what I believe. Im not a flat earther.
How amazing is our Creator !
Pretty amazing, especially with this model/theory, the earth is just the right distance around the sun, spinning at just the right speed on it's axis, tilted at just the right angle on it's axis, revolving at just the right speed around the sun, to create a warm, steadily habitable atmosphere/land/oceans.. and the moon just happens to be the exact same size as the sun to have solar eclipses, etc etc etc!
Naruto Fans: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*
tsukuyomi lol
Cringe
Dont forget those who played Breath of the Wild
Stop.
@@muqsit81 too bold of words son of a cat
I like the lunar ones better. They're more often, last longer and can be looked directly at.
We're seeing this tonight in 4hrs 50mins. Can't wait for this amazing moment. Thanks National Geographic for sharing this info.
Are u from philippines
+The Chosen One I agree I'm in the Phillipines too! Welcome!! To the Pilipinas!!
Today, a penumbral eclipse will occur. Can't wait to witness it!
@@njourmty-bs510 I saw the November one lol I stayed up till 4am to see it
Bro I saw a blood red moon while I was on a trip in the us and I didn’t even plan to see it
Its marvellous how half of the world can see this all at the same time, UK. USA, France, Russia Asia, India,....and also seen from Australia, South Africa , South America ( but of course it is seen inverted from the southern hemisphere)
Proof that earth is not flat and the moon is 238,000 miles away.
I wish my high school teachers were as good as this narrator at explaining things. I would’ve so well.
I'm in middle one and i study it😂😂😂
Here after watching the April 8 2024 solar eclipse trying to differenciate between solar and lunar eclipse.😂
Same
Lol, long story short:
Solar eclipse - the Moon blocks the Sun from Earth.
Lunar eclipse - the Earth blocks the Sun from the Moon. (If you were ON the Moon, it would be like watching a solar eclipse with Earth replacing the Moons place like in a regular solar eclipse)
Comment the time you are watching this and from where.
Here is an example:
I am watching this at 5:33PM in California :)
iEv_eYT is it red?
California 5:54
Malaysia 3.14pm
India, 3:18pm
Meagan Neff 5:43 AM southern California
Its your lucky day! My teacher used you as our guide! Congrats on getting picked!
Thank you for this video this actually helped me with my homework 😊
For me too 😅
Came back here because of Total Lunar Eclipse this Quarantine 1:36am of June 6, 2020
Haha me too, but can't see any of it it's already past 7:45 in my country everything seems normal
@@musondah9495 Where you from? It's 2am here in my country and total lunar eclipse will be in 3am
I didn't seen such type of clear explanation in any video in RUclips
Thank you NGC
Vijay Kumar would you please fix your grammer
Not to clear to me. It doesn't make sense.
@@metalspider7735 would you please fix your spell of grammar?
@@eliramirez3798 cuz you're a dummy.
I really want to witness a Total Lunar Eclipse one day!
The whole moon turning blood red/dark orange like in the freaking Third Impact looks so unreal to me
*I want my science teacher to be like this*
Why
😅
Yes
@@gellieatuan8411 /r wooosh
The 15 of may was my birthdate. Having an eclipse on that day was like a special gift to me
I saw that one!
The way you speak... Makes me to hear... That I forget my time
thank you Nat Geo... you made studying for exam fun...
Hey , I’m in turkey 🇹🇷 and there’s a total lunar eclipse RIGHT NOW ITS BEAUTIFUL 🤭
Nobody asked
@@laterlu Nobody asked you to be rude either.
Cool
Much love from Tamilnadu, India 🇮🇳❤️
I swear I saw this and I didn’t even notice I was just like “hey blood moon cool” I feel dumb
You're lucky tho 😂
@Bibbles yeah there was wildfire smoke blanketing the sky in my area a few years ago and it looks like a low budget lunar eclipse
It ended but I had the chance to see it. Now my plan is to see a total solar eclipse.
Came here because of the eclipse today
When you wanna see a lunar eclipse next year but it’s on a school night (“NOOOOO”) 😅😅😅 and on a Monday
RARRRRRRRR.

ThunderVolt10 yeah
Listened to an astronomer on the local news and they actually say it's a Super Blue Blood Moon :O
Wow, that's a pretty impressive name.
Couldnt be seen in sydneh 😣😣😣
Awesome animation, narration and facts. These are what make Nat Geo my all time favorite..
I'm watching this video as I wake up in the afternoon, after having been up all night enjoying last night's partial ( but almost total) lunar eclipse of November 19th of 2021 😄
Yeeeeeees I did the Same thing and my dad woke me up at 4 in the morning
I learnt alot I am watching the lunar eclipse right now it's a beautiful experience the time is 20:30 here in South Africa in Cape Town I thought there was something wrong so I decided to search more about the red moon
parents: am need to name my kid something
some kid outside: umbra
everbody: good name
I saw the super blue blood moon and it was WONDERFUL
Saw this today, it was phenomenal. :)
It was a spectacular sight indeed! 🌑
Thanks for giving such a beautiful video
I've never seen one before until now....Its so Beautiful!
FNAF Giz
I’m getting ready to see this!!!!!!😃😄😁😁😁😁
There's actually a 4th type of lunar eclipse called a "central eclipse." A central eclipse is a type of total eclipse where not only does the moon go completely behind Earth's umbra but it passes through the center of Earth's umbra. Since the Earth's umbra is still about three times the diameter of the moon by the time it reaches the moon, the moon can go completely behind the Earth's umbra and easily miss the center. For this reason, central lunar eclipses are extremely rare as the vast majority of total lunar eclipses are non-central.
Thx I studied with this video and I pass the exam💯💯
Scientists: Lunar Eclipse
Breath Of The Wild players: BLOOD MOON!
*Terraria players
See now. . Bloody moon👀
Just researched this after seeing the most beautiful dark red Moon tonight. Really awesome to see one😍
This was really well-done, thank you!
Thanks 😊
Oops...I missed it! I'll have to wait another 135 years now!
Mike O'Brien I thought its 150 yrs.
I mean I Thought The Next Super Blue Blood Moon Will Occur In the next 150 yrs
oh yeah, I think you're right!
Nope there is another super blue blood moon in the 2030's
yeah, 2037 I think
I saw one its so underrated
Quite an interesting and informative video. Got to know about various lunar eclipses in no time. Thank you NGC!
i was doing the math behind this , i did not fully get the physics sense of it this video is a excellent illustration of the situation , thanks
Gamers be like
Lunar eclipse: no

THE BLOOD MOON RISES ONCE AGAIN
Hey national geographic this happend today when I was getting ready to go to school it was amazing so cool thanks national😃😃😃😅😅😃😃😃😃 geographic

So nise and thanks to national geo grafic channel
July 4th I cant wait to see it😁
I came before the lunar eclipse of January 2020 .. I was just curious about this whole stuff .. Now I know everything .. Thank you !!
Lunar eclipses don’t get enough recognition
Thank you for this video
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned with Earth between the other two, and only on the night of a full moon.
Lunar eclipse happening now ❤️ its beautiful
Who’s here for school ----->
Sadly me..
I am here after school. Because my teacher was not able to explain my questions
In here to study the Bible
Me in it rn

Saw this one yesterday!! What a scene!! Lovely.
Wasn't the lunar eclipse so fascinating to see in-person? We're glad you got a glimpse of this lunar eclipse yesterday, Indraja!
National Geographic yes... :)
I saw a REAL Lunar Eclipse on July 4th 2022! Or was it 2023? I don’t really remember the year. I was like “I SAW A REAL LUNAR ECLIPSE!!!”❤🌑🌎☀️❤️ I wish there was a Lunar and a Solar Eclipse emoji!❤

When I was playing at night with my friends I saw the moon it was large and the back of the moon is yellow when we go somewhere I go outside I look at the moon it was red I thought it was the mars crashing to earth
