Netizens across the globe share stunning photos of first Penumbral Lunar Eclipse 2023

The moon turned blood red in several parts of the world on Friday as the year's first penumbral Lunar Eclipse thrilled stargazers. The celestial event is an opportunity that should not be missed, as the next such event won't be visible from our region until September 2042.

The Moon, which appeared blood-soaked, was visible to the naked eyes. However, it is important to note that the visibility and timing of lunar eclipses can vary depending on your location and the weather conditions.

Social media was also flooded with pictures and time-lapse videos of the bright, red moon.
