This dramatic colouration results from Earth\u2019s atmosphere bending and filtering sunlight, allowing only red wavelengths to reach the moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most striking red colouration will be visible during the totality phase between 19:30 and 20:52. The red glow will gradually fade as the moon exits totality around 20:52, according to the NRF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partial eclipse phase will conclude around 21:56, with subtle penumbral shading continuing until 22:55, marking the complete end of the eclipse event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather conditions across South Africa appear favourable for viewing, though observers are advised to check local forecasts before heading to viewing locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blood Moon phenomenon promises stunning celestial display on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":270216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"69","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"60","_yoast_wpseo_inclusive_language_score":"90","_yoast_wpseo_is_cornerstone":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon Viewing Times in South Africa","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"Catch the lunar eclipse blood moon on 7 September!
