Gaze at a total blood moon eclipse during Loy Krathong

People will witness not just krathongs floating in the water tomorrow, but a blood-red moon in the night sky.

A total lunar eclipse is expected to be visible around the world Tuesday, the last such celestial occurrence in which the earth, sun, and moon align until 2025.

The eclipse is expected to start around 3pm and be visible in Thailand from 5:44pm to around 9pm, according to the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand.

Budding astronomers and casual observers can make a trip to any of the public observatories in Chachoengsao, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Songkhla provinces for a closer look.

Lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. The next blood moon sighting will occur March 14, 2025.
