It is worthy to mention that this breathtaking align is not the only captivating sky phenomenon that is witnessed in November.

Last week, a rare blood moon phenomenon haunted the sky in several countries around the world as a result of a partial lunar eclipse which is the final one in 2021.

The lunar eclipse event was the longest since February 1440 as it lasted for three hours, 28 minutes, and 23 seconds, according to NASA.

People in north Europe, east Asia, Australia, the Americans, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the North Pole watched the eclipse.
