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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
