Total Lunar Eclipse Will Turn the Moon Red Around the World
Tonight, the night sky will host a rare and breathtaking show, a total lunar eclipse, often called a Blood Moon. During this event, the Earth lines up perfectly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking direct sunlight. Instead of disappearing, the Moon takes on a deep red glow as light bends through Earth’s atmosphere. This is what gives it that fiery, otherworldly look people call the Blood Moon.
The Moon will stay fully covered in Earth’s shadow for about 82 minutes. This makes it one of the longest total eclipses in recent years. It’s not something you get to see often, and that’s why sky watchers across the world are excited.
This time, the eclipse can be seen clearly across much of Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. In some places like the U.S., people won’t get the full view, but they can still watch live streams online. The peak moment of the eclipse comes around 18:11 UTC, when the Moon will be at its deepest shade of red.
For people hoping to catch it, the best way is simple: find a clear open spot away from city lights, look up, and enjoy the slow transformation. No special gear is needed, but binoculars or a camera can make the view even better.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
