ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 You\u2019ll have to stay up late, but Central Floridians will soon have the chance to see a near-total lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n
The eclipse, taking place the night of August 27th and continuing into the very early morning hours of the 28th, will technically be partial, but with nearly 94% of the moon in the earth\u2019s shadow the moon will still turn red.<\/p>\n
Lunar Eclipse<\/p>\n
This happens as light from Earth\u2019s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon during the eclipse.<\/p>\n
The partial eclipse gets underway at 10:33 p.m. The moon will gradually turn red as the eclipse continues.<\/p>\n
The moon will gradually lose its reddish hue, but still appear to be dark until the partial portion of the eclipse ends at 1:51 a.m.<\/p>\n
