SINGAPORE — Stargazers can look forward to a celestial treat in September when Singapore's first total lunar eclipse in three years unfolds in the skies above.During the eclipse — expected to take place on Sept 7 — the moon will take on a reddish hue, a phenomenon known as a blood moon.In Singapore, total lunar eclipses are visible about once every three to four years, said the Science Centre Singapore observatory in response to queries. When a total lunar eclipse does occur, it is not unusual for a few to follow in close succession.The last total lunar eclipse visible in Singapore was on Nov 8, 2022. After the one in 2025, the next will be on March 3, 2026. Like the 2022 eclipse, the one in 2026 is expected to be difficult to see.On Sept 7, the lunar eclipse will begin at 11.28pm in Singapore, reach its maximum at 2.11am on Sept 8, and end at 4.55am, according to the latest data on the global astronomy website timeanddate.com.
