News4JAX Insiders capture total lunar eclipse (SnapJAX)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Something special took place when a total lunar eclipse occured around 6 a.m. Tuesday morning. It will be the last total lunar eclipse on Earth until New Year’s Eve 2028-2029.
A lunar eclipse only occurs during a full moon, which coincides with March’s full moon, also known as the worm moon. When the Earth is between the sun and the moon, the Earth casts a shadow onto the moon.
Tuesday’s total eclipse began at 6:04 a.m. with the maximum at 6:34 a.m. The total eclipse ended at 7:03 a.m.
Here are some of the images our News4JAX Insiders captured of the celestial event:
