The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) confirmed that a total lunar eclipse will take place on September 7 going into September 8, and a ‘blood moon’ will be visible – if the weather is kind. It’s been a little under three years since we last experienced a total lunar eclipse on November 8, 2022, so this should be a thrilling sight to behold.
The Hong Kong Space Museum advises, ‘It is possible to observe the eclipse from any district in Hong Kong as long as the view is unobstructed by buildings. Interested observers are advised to choose a location with a wide view to the south and southwest, such as waterfront promenades or parks in various districts’. But if you can’t make it out to see the eclipse in person, a live webcast is being jointly hosted by the Hong Kong Observatory, Hong Kong Space Museum, and numerous educational organisations.
