HÀ NỘI — Astronomy enthusiasts in Việt Nam will be able to witness a ‘blood moon’ total lunar eclipse lasting nearly an hour and a half in the early hours of Monday.

The super "blood moon" is one of the most anticipated astronomical phenomena this year, bringing a rare opportunity for space lovers in Việt Nam as well as other Asian countries.

About six billions people in the eastern hemisphere could witness this rare event.

If the sky is clear and has few clouds, the phenomenon can be clearly visible to the naked eye.

The event coincides with the time when the moon is closest to earth, making the moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
