Early risers were able to witness a lunar eclipse – or “blood moon” – over Salisbury in the early hours of Friday, March 14.

As the moon moved through the shadow of the Earth, it was also being illuminated by light from the sun — causing the moon to appear as if dipped in a deep red hue in a stunning celestial sight.

If you're up in the early hours of Monday, September 8, you'll witness a total lunar eclipse, or "blood moon," visible across Australia. Another total lunar eclipse will occur in the early evening of March 2026, followed by an early morning eclipse in December 2028.
