Is that a lunar eclipse? Why is it red?
This is more like it.
According to the NARIT, the earth’s shadow will fall across the moon from around 3.02pm to 8.56pm Thailand local time. This means that the moon will be eclipsed for almost a full hour, from 5.44pm to 6.41pm. As things move, a partial eclipse will happen until 7.49pm, and the lunar eclipse will end at 8.56pm.
TDLR: A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, the earth, and the moon are all closely aligned. This year, it will happen on the night of Loy Krathong, the Thai festival will be even more special. Enjoy.
