Clouds obscure blood moon, leaving S’poreans with nearly
3-year wait for next total lunar eclipse
SINGAPORE – A rare red-hued moon was hidden from view over Singapore on March 3, as thick cloud cover obscured
that unfolded above the island.Several astronomy enthusiasts took to social media to lament the clouded-out spectacle, sharing images of dark, overcast skies from rooftops and prime stargazing spots. Many expressed disappointment at missing out on a full view of the blood-red celestial display.
Facebook user James Gan, who posted an image of the full moon, which he photographed in the early hours of March 3, said that, as at 7.46 pm, there was still no red moon in sight.
Expressing his disappointment, he said: “What a dramatic ‘no show moon’ evening in Singapore; clouds never seem to be kind to us!”
Speaking to The Straits Times, reader A. Kannan initially said the sky was turning cloudy and that there was “no chance probably” of seeing the lunar eclipse.
