A blood moon is set to grace the night sky this week, casting an eerie red glow over Earth. This rare total lunar eclipse will be the first in more than two years, and skywatchers across several continents will have a chance to witness its striking transformation.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon align so the moon passes into the Earth’s shadow, N ASA explained. In a total lunar eclipse, the entire moon falls within the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow called the umbra.

Texas-based Firefly Aerospace, the second private-sector company to soft-land a spacecraft on the moon, released stunning footage from the Blue Ghost’s touchdown on Sunday. Firefly Aerospace successfully landed its Blue Ghost spacecraft on the moon's surface on March 2, and has now released footage of the impressive landing event.
