Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight




We're in store for a special lunar eclipse early tomorrow morning - a full "blood" moon. Not only will the moon completely fall within the Earth's shadow, making it a total lunar eclipse, but the effect of simultaneous sunrises and sunsets across the Earth will also give a blood-red appearance to the moon.

While the moon will set and the sun will rise before the full eclipse cycle finishes, early risers will still be able to catch the full effect of the "blood moon" between 5:25 and 6:25 AM.

And we are in luck: aside from just a few cirrus clouds, skies should be mostly clear so that all locations around the area get a great view of the event!
