This Blood Moon rising picture was taken from Signal Hill, Cape Town, on Sunday. A lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when the moon moves into the Earth’s shadow, causing the moon to be darkened. Such an alignment occurs during an eclipse season, about every six months, during the full moon phase.

@Candice_Chirwa I can’t get over how magical this is… all of us, in different places, looking up at the same sky. It’s such a simple reminder of how deeply connected we really are, and how much beauty we take for granted.
