Lunar Eclipse May 2021

Hello and welcome to the special Western Isles weather blog taking a look at the lunar eclipse that was visible across parts of the globe today (Wednesday 26th May). It sadly wasn’t visible in the UK but I still wanted to do a blog about it with some of the stunning images captured.

This great video from the National Geographic explains all about Lunar Eclipses

Todays lunar eclipse is a total eclipse.

A lunar #eclipse is sometimes called a "blood moon," but the actual source of the red color is quite gentle: it's light filtered through all the sunrises and sunsets on Earth. Here's our video guide to #LunarEclipse2021 and how to see it on May 26: https://t.co/sDNOcwAxcF pic.twitter.com/cNYkKLCPho
