Ever seen the moon red in color? I'm not talking about the movies, here in the real world. Well, tomorrow is your chance ladies and gentlemen. After phenomenal season from our moon, four super moons and one lunar eclipse in just one half of the year, the moon will once again dazzle fans across North America with another lunar eclipse tomorrow in what analysts are calling a blood moon.
The last super moon was viewed on September 8th. The last lunar eclipse was on the 15th of April. Not only will tomorrow's moon be a lunar eclipse, the moon will appear reddish in color. This is why it is being called a blood moon.
A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, moon and the earth's shadow align. In this case, the earth's shadow will pass over the moon. When the sun's light passes through earth, it is bent or refracted, and appears reddish. All the sunsets and sunrises from the earth will be reflected on the lunar surface, hence the blood moon.
The official time for the lunar eclipse is 6:25 am ET, which is 5:25 am CT and 4:25 am MT. It will continue until 7:24 am ET.
The lunar eclipse will be visible in its entirety for residents of eastern Australia, eastern Asia, New Zealand, Japan, western North America and the Hawaiian islands. For the residents of central and west America, the eclipse will be visible high up in a dark night just before sunrise.
The best part is that no spectacles or technological gizmos are needed to view the eclipse, only your bare eyes. A telescope or binoculars may enhance the view. Unlike the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse does not pose any threat to the eyes. However, thick clouds may limit the view of the moon according to https://admin.foodworldnews.com/pages/publish/publish/form.php?getstring=meteorologists. This will be particularly so for the northeastern Americans as a storm brews in the southwest.
