According to the Astrology and Geophysics Research Center, a total moon eclipse started at 5.14 pm on the 8 of October here. Known as a “blood moon”--the moon turns red-- the eclipse was observed at 6 o’clock 25 minutes in Ulaanbaatar lasting for 59 minutes.
The astrologists claim that lunar eclipses happen twice a year, this was the last one to happen in 2014.
A lunar eclipse happens only when there is a full moon. Eclipse of the moon is a phenomenon that takes place as the moon goes under the shadow of the earth, and as a result of refraction of red light in the atmosphere, the moon turns red. There are two types of lunar eclipses--total and partial.
