The UK will experience a total lunar eclipse on 7 September, which will be the last "good, observable total lunar eclipse until the last day of 2028", according to Bloomer.
However, some sunlight is refracted by Earth’s atmosphere, making the Moon appear reddish – hence the name “Blood Moon”.
THE Moon is set to turn colourful shades of red, pink and even purple over the UK soon, as lunar disk goes through a partial eclipse.
The Earth is constantly rotating around the Sun, and the Moon is constantly rotating around the Earth.
During the eclipse, which occurs in a matter of weeks, almost all of the Moon will be in Earth's shadow and hidden from the Sun.
