2026 continues to be the big year of eclipses. After the solar eclipse on August 12, the Moon has now been the protagonist. At 04:25 AM this Friday, the Earth blocked the sunlight and began to cast a shadow on the Moon, covering 93% of the satellite's disk at its peak. In addition, the moon also turned a reddish color.

Quite a spectacle in the sky. Yesterday, a total lunar eclipse took place, a phenomenon in which the Earth's shadow is completely projected onto our satellite. The eclipse—known as a blood moon for its red tones—was visible in all its splendor, especially in Central Asia. In Catalonia, it was visible from early afternoon, but in cities like Barcelona, clouds initially obscured it, making it a bit of a wait. After the eclipse, a spectacular full moon could also be enjoyed.

"Wake me up when September ends," sings Billie Joe Armstrong in one of the songs on the album American idiotby the punk-rock band Green Day. In this song, the singer pays tribute to his father who died one September day. The fact is that this month, like the song itself, has a melancholic quality for many people: the holidays are coming to an end, summer is drawing to a close with the days getting shorter, and everything returns to its harsh routine, which provokes an unconscious desire for October to arrive quickly. Fortunately, we can heal the nostalgia for times past, even if only partially, with a night sky filled with diverse and interesting offerings.
