WATCH: South Americans gather to observe the red ‘blood moon’ lunar eclipse

Moongazers gathered in Chile, Argentina and Venezuela to observe a total lunar eclipse. The events happen when the moon, Earth and sun align just so. The Earth casts a shadow that can partially or totally blot out the moon.

HOW OFTEN DO LUNAR ECLIPSES OCCUR?

According to NASA, the Earth, moon and sun line up to produce a solar or lunar eclipse anywhere from four to seven times a year. The last total lunar eclipse was in 2022 and a partial lunar eclipse was visible in the Americas, Africa and Europe last September.
