Stargazers across the Americas are treated to a dramatic "Blood Moon" during a rare total lunar eclipse. The celestial spectacle is the first of its kind since 2022, although this time the event is a "Micromoon", with the moon at its furthest point from Earth, the opposite of 2022's "Supermoon." The awe-inspiring phenomenon was visible in some parts of Europe and Africa as well.

01:30who ask us, without a doubt, if they are going to have any activity, what this eclipse means.
01:35And questions that, suddenly, can be a little simpler or misinformed, like, for example,
01:41if it is harmful to health or something like that, and that also means changing the population
01:45and telling them that nothing bad is going to happen to them and that they should dedicate themselves
01:48to enjoying this show.
