        "summary": "Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has announced that a total lunar eclipse will occur on 3 March 2026 and will be visible from Indonesian territory. The total phase will begin at 18:03 WIB, reach its peak at 18:33 WIB, and conclude at 19:03 WIB, lasting approximately 59 minutes and 27 seconds, during which the moon is expected to appear reddish due to Rayleigh scattering in Earth's atmosphere.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia\u2019s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG)\nhas announced that a total lunar eclipse will occur on 3 March 2026 and\ncan be observed from Indonesian territory. This phenomenon is one of\nfour eclipses predicted to occur throughout 2026.<\/p>\n<p>BMKG explained that a lunar eclipse occurs when sunlight is blocked\nby Earth, preventing the sun\u2019s rays from fully reaching the moon. This\nphenomenon results from the dynamics of the positions of the sun, Earth,\nand moon and only occurs during the full moon phase.<\/p>\n<p>Because the movement of these three celestial bodies can be\ncalculated with precision, the occurrence of eclipses can be predicted\nwell in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth, and\nmoon are positioned in a straight line. In this condition, the moon\nenters entirely into Earth\u2019s umbra shadow.<\/p>\n<p>At the peak of the eclipse, the moon has the potential to appear red\nif the sky is clear. This reddish colour occurs as a result of Rayleigh\nscattering in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Sunlight passing through the atmosphere becomes scattered, whereby\nshort wavelengths such as blue are dispersed more widely, whilst long\nwavelengths such as red remain unobstructed and reach the moon\u2019s\nsurface. As a result, the moon appears reddish from Earth.<\/p>\n<p>BMKG noted that the total phase of the Total Lunar Eclipse on 3 March\n2026 will begin at 18:03 WIB. The peak of the eclipse occurs at 18:33\nWIB, whilst the total phase ends at 19:03 WIB. The duration of totality\nis recorded as 59 minutes and 27 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2026, BMKG has recorded four eclipses, with the following\ndetails:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li><p>Annular Solar Eclipse on 17 February 2026, which cannot be\nobserved from Indonesia.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Total Lunar Eclipse on 3 March 2026, which can be observed from\nIndonesia.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Total Solar Eclipse on 12 August 2026, which cannot be observed\nfrom Indonesia.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Partial Lunar Eclipse on 28 August 2026, which cannot be observed\nfrom Indonesia.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>",
