"Lunar Eclipse Spectacle: Exciting events planned for the planetarium during the Blood Moon event"
Get ready for a celestial spectacle as Halle (Saale) prepares to witness a total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025. This rare event will take place at two special occasions, "Starry Hour Special: Live Lunar Eclipse", hosted by the Planetarium Halle.
The twilight will still brighten the sky during the initial stages of the eclipse, with the event beginning at 7:45 PM. As the moon moves into the Earth's umbral shadow, it will gradually darken significantly, eventually appearing in a copper-red hue - a "Blood Moon". The maximum eclipse will occur at 8:12 PM, providing an awe-inspiring sight.
The astronomer who will explain this celestial phenomenon on the stage of the Planetarium Halle has not been named yet. Tickets for these events can be purchased online at [http://www.planetarium-our-website] or at the Planetarium box office during opening hours.
The total lunar eclipse can only occur when the sun, Earth, and moon are perfectly aligned. Throughout the event, the moon will be at a low height above the eastern horizon, which may affect visibility. However, the moon's exit from the umbral shadow can be observed until shortly before 10 PM, and the partial phase of the lunar eclipse ends at 9:57 PM. The totality of the lunar eclipse in Halle will end at 8:53 PM.
It's important to note that the moon does not become completely dark during a total lunar eclipse. Instead, the reddish color on the moon's surface is caused by Earth's atmosphere redirecting the reddish portion of sunlight into the Earth's shadow.
This total lunar eclipse will be visible in Halle, offering a unique opportunity for stargazers to witness this rare event. So, mark your calendars for September 7, 2025, and prepare for a night under the "Blood Moon" at the Planetarium Halle.
