"It’s scientifically interesting for those who want to study the phenomenon scientifically. It’s also culturally important. Some people believe eclipse nights are sacred and the Earth’s energy is multiplied and we can make wishes. And it’s also attractive because we can see this with naked eye and a good feeling has been transfered to us from sky."

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of people gathered around an iconic tower in Tehran to watch the year’s second total lunar eclipse on Sunday.
Earth’s shadow obscured this weekend’s full moon as the planet lined up perfectly between the moon and the sun.
The shorter total lunar eclipse in March offered prime viewing in the Americas.
But this one — called a blood moon because of its red shadowy hue — unfolded on the opposite side of the world Sunday night and early Monday.
The entire eclipse was visible in Asia — from Saudi Arabia to the Philippines, as far north as the Arctic Ocean all the way down to Antarctica — as well as parts of East Africa and the western half of Australia.
The moon’s vanishing act will be followed two weeks later by a partial solar eclipse visible from New Zealand, a sliver of Australia and Antarctica.
