“全食血月＋月掩天王星”套餐 下次见面请再等2000年【健谈英语】

【头条播报】
People across China witnessed a “blood moon” with total eclipse in November 2022. In addition, this total lunar eclipse also had a surprise – the moon covered Uranus, which means visually, the moon swallowed Uranus and then spat it out after a while. The next time people can see a total lunar eclipse in its entirety will be September 8, 2025, while the last time a total lunar eclipse and planetary eclipse coincided was in July 1580, when the moon covered Saturn.
