A waning crescent moon is photographed at sunrise in Sangju, South Korea, on June 9, 2026. The image is captured during a period when several bright planets are appearing in a notable alignment visible after sunset. Between June 8 and June 12, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter can be observed lining up across the western sky shortly after sunset, forming a visually striking sequence from Earth's perspective. The combination of the waning crescent moon at dawn and the evening planetary alignment highlights a week of remarkable skywatching opportunities. Clear weather conditions offer the best chance to observe and photograph these celestial events.

A Blood Moon appears over the towers of Molfetta Cathedral in Molfetta, Italy, on March 3, 2026. The name Blood Moon derives from the color that the satellite takes on during the phenomenon: seen from Earth, the lunar surface is tinged with a characteristic red-orange hue, hence the evocative name. The event is linked to a total lunar eclipse: the Moon enters completely into the shadow cone projected by the Earth and, as a result of this alignment, takes on the color that has earned it its name.

A total lunar eclipse rises over Bekasi City, West Java, on March 3, 2026. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align in a straight line, leaving the Moon obscured by Earth's shadow. However, some sunlight reflected from Earth's atmosphere still reaches the Moon's surface, giving it a red hue, hence the name Blood Moon.
