00:00The Night Taiwan's Sky Turns Red
00:02Blood Moon 2025
00:04On the night of September 7th to 8th, 2025
00:08The sky over Taiwan will stage a show so rare, so powerful, that people will remember it for years.
00:16A total lunar eclipse known to many as a blood moon will cast its spell across the island.
00:22For nearly two hours, the moon will glow in shades of deep red and copper, as if the heavens themselves had been set on fire.
00:30This ISNT, just another eclipse at S, the most spectacular lunar event of the decade for Taiwan.
00:38The last time the island witnessed a full lunar eclipse in its entirety was in 2018, and the next won't arrive until years later.
00:46This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see science, beauty, and history collide in the night sky.
00:54Why the moon turns red to understand the magic?
00:57Let's go behind the scenes.
00:58During a total lunar eclipse, Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon.
01:04Instead of the moon going completely dark, something strange happens.
01:08Sunlight bends around Earth's atmosphere, filtering out blue light and letting only red and orange hues pass through.
01:16That filtered light paints the moon in glowing shades of crimson.
01:20Astronomers call this the Rayleigh scattering effect.
01:22The same reason our skies turn red at sunrise and sunset.
01:26But instead of looking at a horizon, we'll be seeing an entire moon dipped in fiery light.
01:32It's no wonder that across history, blood moons inspired fear, myths, and legends.
01:39Ancient cultures thought they signaled wars, plagues, or the wrath of the gods.
01:43But today, we understand them for what they are.
01:47A breathtaking demonstration of cosmic geometry.
01:51The timeline of the eclipse in Taiwan.
01:53Here's how the night will unfold.
01:55Taiwan Standard Time.
01:5711 p.m.
01:58September 7th.
01:59The moon enters Earth's partial shadow.
02:02You'll notice a faint dimming.
02:03La 0 y 27 am septate.
02:06The real show begins.
02:07The total eclipse starts.
02:101.31 to 53 am.
02:13The totality phase.
02:15For 82 minutes, the moon glows deep, redden, unbroken stretch of celestial beauty.
02:203.56 am.
02:22The moon fully leaves Earth's shadow, returning to its silver glow.
02:27That's nearly five hours of shifting colors and phases.
02:30Think about it.
02:31While most people will be asleep, the sky will be alive with one of the universe's most stunning performances.
02:38Why this eclipse matters, you might ask.
02:41Why is this one so special?
02:43Visible across all of Taiwan.
02:45From Taipei City Lights to the remote mountains of Woyen.
02:49The entire island can witness it.
02:51Rare totality.
02:53Many eclipses are partial.
02:55But this one is a complete eclipse.
02:57Meaning the moon will fully slip into Earth's shadow.
03:01Perfect timing.
03:02Happening past midnight, when skies are generally clearer, makes it more likely to be visible weather permitting.
03:09Longest in years, with totality lasting over an hour.
03:13Even casual stargazers won't miss it.
03:15This is why the Taipei Astronomical Museum is calling it one of the most important astronomical events of 2025.
03:24Cosmic Companions
03:25Venus and the Stars
03:27The eclipse isn't the only gift that night.
03:30Venus meets the Beehive Cluster.
03:32In the same week, the planet Venus will shine near the Beehive Cluster.
03:36Precipe in Cancer
03:37Through binoculars or a small telescope, you'll see Venus glowing like a diamond surrounded by a swarm of tiny stars.
03:46September 13th
03:47Just days later, the last quarter moon passes by the Pleiades' Seven Sisters.
03:52A star cluster woven into mythology across cultures.
03:56It's as if the universe is stacking bonus features onto the main event.
04:00How to Watch the Blood Moon
04:02If you're in Taiwan, you don't need any fancy equipment.
04:05The eclipse will be visible to the naked eye.
04:09But here's how to make the most of it.
04:11Find a dark spot.
04:12Go somewhere away from city lights.
04:15A park, a hill, or even a rooftop.
04:18Look southwest.
04:19The eclipse will be best viewed in the southwestern sky.
04:23Bring binoculars or a telescope.
04:25Not required.
04:26But it will magnify the red surface and craters of the moon in stunning detail.
04:31Use a camera.
04:32A tripod and long exposure setting can capture breathtaking photos.
04:37Time-lapse videos are especially popular on YouTube.
04:41Tip start watching at midnight.
04:43That way, you catch the moon before it reaches peak redness.
04:47The cultural side of the blood moon.
04:49In Taiwan, as in many Asian cultures, the moon carries deep symbolism.
04:54It's tied to family, festivals, and mythology.
04:57In folklore, a lunar eclipse was sometimes seen as a celestial dragon swallowing the moon.
05:04People would bang drums and shout to scare it away.
05:07In modern times, the blood moon has taken on new meaning.
05:11For some, it's a sign of change and transformation.
05:14For others, it's a reminder of our connection to the cosmos.
05:18Imagine families gathering on balconies, students setting up telescopes in parks, and photographers
05:25capturing the sky over Taipei 101 as the moon turns red.
05:30The event will be not just scientific, but deeply human.
05:34Global impact of lunar eclipses.
05:36While Taiwan will have one of the best views, this eclipse isn't just local.
05:41Global, millions across Asia, Australia, and parts of the Pacific will also see it.
05:48Events like these remind us of something profound.
05:51No matter where we live, we share the same sky.
05:55The same moon that glows red over Taiwan will glow red over countless others across oceans.
06:01It's a perfect example of how science unites us all.
06:05Why you shouldn't miss it.
06:06If you're under 18, this eclipse will engage you with its beauty and mystery.
06:11The kind of event that sparks curiosity in astronomy.
06:15If you're older, you'll appreciate it as a scientific wanderer,
06:19living lesson in physics and geometry, unfolding right above us.
06:24Either way, it's a night to pause, look up, and realize we're all tiny parts of a vast, elegant universe.
06:32Final Thought
06:32On September 8th, 2025, Taiwan will witness the moon transform into a glowing ember hanging in the sky.
06:40It will be a reminder that simple alignments, Earth, Sun, and Moon can create moments of breathtaking beauty.
06:48So, set an alarm.
06:50Step outside.
06:52Look up.
06:53Because when the moon turns red, you're not just watching an eclipse.
06:56You're watching the universe paint a masterpiece.
06:59And you'll remember it for the rest of your life.
