Starting 5 p.m. Tuesday, the Da Nang Astronomy Club brought out telescopes to the Bien Dong Park to wait for the lunar eclipse. However, due to dark clouds, the entirety of the event could not be observed fully.
People use softwares along with their telescopes in order to track down the movements of the moon. The fact that the moon was hidden behind clouds makes it more difficult to adjust the telescopes.
From 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., the moon began to be visible. People could only watch a partial lunar eclipse at the time.
The same evening, at the Bach Dang Wharf Park of HCMC's District 1, dozens of people gathered with telescopes and cameras to record the event. It was not raining, but there were thin layers of clouds in the sky, which obstructed vision.
In Quang Ngai in central Vietnam, the clear sky made it easy to observe the lunar eclipse. Totality was observed from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., where the moon's color turned red-copper, otherwise known as a "blood moon."
The moon pictured was observed at 6:30 p.m. in Tinh Ha Commune of Son Tinh District.
The total lunar eclipse was observed in Quang Ngai from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. One side of the moon was covered by shadows.
A partial lunar eclipse is pictured in Hanoi at 7 p.m.
People in Hanoi could not observe the total lunar eclipse due to smoggy sky. However, starting 7 p.m., people could begin to observe a partial lunar eclipse.
