The “Blood Moon” eclipse lit up the sky over Albania last night, offering a rare spectacle for viewers.

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface. Instead of disappearing, the Moon glowed deep red, creating its iconic “Blood Moon” look.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared photos of the eclipse over Tirana’s Artificial Lake, calling it “a full and spectacular lunar eclipse, also known as the Harvest Moon.”

Unlike many other celestial events, a lunar eclipse is easy to observe. It requires no special equipment or location. The red color appears because Earth’s atmosphere filters sunlight, blocking blue wavelengths and allowing red and orange light to reach the Moon.

Across Albania, people watched as the Moon turned crimson, a striking reminder of the beauty of the night sky.
