Stargazers in Asia, parts of Europe, and Africa will witness a "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse on Sunday night. This celestial event occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, causing the Moon to appear a deep red due to light scattering through the Earth's atmosphere.

• The total lunar eclipse will last from 1730 GMT to 1852 GMT.
• Astrophysicist Ryan Milligan from Queen's University Belfast explained why the Moon appears red.
• This event is considered a prelude to a rare total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, visible in Spain and Iceland.
