ALBAWABA - A video widely shared on social media claims to show a huge cumulus cloud in the sky of Pakistan's Islamabad city, on Sept.6, one day before the 'Blood Moon' lunar eclipse.
The world awaits the night of Sept. 7-8, a unique astronomical event where 77 percent of the worldwide population will be able to view a total lunar eclipse and the rise of a reddish "Blood Moon".
Space revealed that the lunar eclipse will be perfectly visible at 21:11 GMT on Sept. 7, and the event will last for approximately 82 minutes. During this night, a big full moon called "Blood Moon" will be seen from across the globe.
On the other hand, another clip also dominated platforms online, allegedly showing cumulus clouds in the city of Islamabad, Pakistan, with captions linking this case to the lunar eclipse and Blood Moon on Sept. 7.
However, many people said that what is seen in the video is a massive cumulonimbus cloud with internal lightning illuminating the sky above Islamabad in Pakistan, occurring one day before the total lunar eclipse "Blood Moon" on Sept. 7-8. It looks stunning, but it is a natural atmospheric phenomenon associated with thunderstorms and has nothing to do with the Blood Moon or lunar eclipse.
