BANGKOK: Get ready for a major astronomical event to close out the first quarter of the year, as a total lunar eclipse will take place on the night of Makha Bucha Day, on March 3. This one is special: the Moon is expected to appear brick-red from the moment it rises above the eastern horizon, allowing people in Thailand to enjoy the spectacle with the naked eye nationwide.
The National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (Public Organisation), or NARIT, reported that a lunar eclipse will occur on March 3, coinciding with Makha Bucha Day.
