🌕 The Night of the Blutmond – Share Your Thoughts!

Tonight, Berlin is preparing for a magical moment: the Blutmond, a total lunar eclipse. I can’t stop thinking about it. I already have my Teleskop (telescope) ready, a warm Kaffee (coffee) in my thermos, and a quiet Bank (bench) near the Spree picked out.

I remember the last time I saw a total lunar eclipse. It was cloudy, and I couldn’t see a thing. I felt a little enttäuscht(disappointed), but also curious: how many people around the world were looking up at the same Moon I was missing? Tonight, I hope to experience the full magic.

As the Moon slowly turns dunkelrot (dark red), I imagine centuries of people watching the same sky. In Europe, it was once seen as an Omen (sign) of war or change. In China, they imagined a dragon verschlingt (swallowing) the Moon. Native Americans thought the Moon was krank (sick), and in South America, the Incas performed rituals to keep the gods happy.

It’s amazing how one event in the sky can inspire Furcht, Freude und Staunen (fear, joy, and wonder) across cultures and centuries.

Now, I want to know your story:

• Have you ever seen a Blutmond?

• Did it feel magical or a little scary?

• Do you believe in any old myths about the Moon?

Share your thoughts in the comments below! I’d love to hear where you watched it from, what you felt, or even your favorite Moon myth. Let’s start a conversation about this incredible night and the magic of the sky. 🌌
