According to the forecast, on May 16, this year's first total lunar eclipse will be performed grandly and bring "Red Moon", but unfortunately, this total lunar eclipse occurred during the daytime in China and can't be seen** Xiu Lipeng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and director of the Tianjin astronomical society, explained: "compared with the penumbra lunar eclipse and the partial lunar eclipse, the total lunar eclipse is the most beautiful. At this time, when viewed from the earth, the round moon presents an ancient bronze color and has a different scenery. People call it the 'Red Moon'."

There will be only two lunar eclipses in the world this year, but both are total lunar eclipses.

The total lunar eclipse on May 16 can be seen in the Pacific (except the northwest), Eastern Oceania, southern North America, South America, the Atlantic, southwest Europe, Africa, extreme southwest Asia, Southwest Indian Ocean and Antarctica. The whole process is 5 hours and 21 minutes, of which the total eclipse from eclipse to light lasts 1 hour and 26 minutes.

On November 8, the whole process of lunar eclipse will be visible in Northeast China, and "eclipse moon rise" can be seen in other regions

It is worth mentioning that on November 8, the moon will eclipse Uranus at the same time as the total lunar eclipse, which is extremely rare**
