The March 28 total lunar eclipse may offer a chance to view some celestial phenomena. Over the next month, there are several opportunities for skywatchers, with Lyrid meteors, a supermoon, and auroras potentially visible.
Some parts of the world might be able to see a total lunar eclipse on Wednesday, during which the moon will turn red. Asia, Australia, and the western parts of the Americas will have the best views of this event.
Additionally, the Lyrid meteor shower is expected to peak on the night of April 21 into the morning of April 22. It is recommended to find a spot away from city lights for the best viewing experience.
A supermoon is set to appear on April 16, when the moon will be at its closest point to Earth. This will make the moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
Auroras, also known as the Northern and Southern Lights, are possible to see as well. A solar flare occurred on Sunday, which could lead to auroras being visible on Tuesday night and Wednesday night in the United States and Canada.
People interested in stargazing and observing these celestial events should find clear skies and a good viewing location, away from light pollution. Remember to dress warmly and be patient, as some events may require waiting a while before being visible. Enjoy the beauty of the night sky!
